.SH NAME
|

.B paperspecs
|
|
\- paper size specifications
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
A CSV format list of the paper size specifications used by paper.
|
|
Each line contains the following fields:
|
|
.TP
|
|
NAME,WIDTH,HEIGHT,UNIT
|
|
.PP
|
|
Valid units are: \fBpt\fR (PostScript points), \fBmm\fR, \fBin\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A size may be defined more than once. Only the first definition is
|
|
normally used. This means that the user's paperspecs file overrides
|
|
sizes in the system file (see below).
|
|
.PP
|
|
Multiple definitions are also used to allow inexact definitions to be
|
|
looked up by size. For example, the \fBLC_PAPER\fR mechanism available
|
|
on some systems defines paper sizes in whole numbers of millimetres,
|
|
which results in a definition for Letter size that does not exactly
|
|
match the definition in inches.
|
|
