       Print paper size information.

       --all  show information about all known paper sizes

       --no-size
              do not show paper sizes (width followed by height)

       --unit UNIT

       paper prints information about the given paper sizes, which can include
       the standard form of its name, its width and height. The output is
       designed to be both human- and machine-readable.  The name is matched
       case-insensitively, and ignoring spaces.

       If neither a paper size nor the --all option is given, the current
       paper size is used.

       The current paper size is obtained by looking in order at the following
       values until a non-empty value is found.  If no paper size is
       configured, paper exits with an error.

       o      The PAPERSIZE environment variable

       o      The user's default paper size in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/papersize

       o      The current locale's default paper size (if supported by the
              system)

       o      The system default paper size in /opt/local/etc/papersize

       o      The first paper size in the system list

       o      The first paper size in the user's list
