SYNOPSYS

       #include <paper.h>

       const char* systempapername(void)
       const char* defaultpapername(void)

       const char* systempapersizefile(void)
       const char* defaultpapersizefile(void)

DESCRIPTION

       systempapername() returns the name of the default paper to be used by a
       program.  This name is  obtained  by  looking  in  that  order  at  the
       PAPERCONF environment variable, at the contents of the file returned by
       systempapersizefile() or by using defaultpapername() as a last  chance.

       defaultpapername()  returns  the name of the default paper to use if it
       is impossible to get its name from the environment.

       systempapersizefile() returns the path of the papersize  file  to  use.
       This  path is obtained by looking at the PAPERCONF environment variable
       or by calling defaultpapersizefile().

       defaultpapersizefile returns the path of the default papersize file.

ENVIRONMENT

       PAPERSIZE           Paper size to use regardless of what the  papersize
                           file contains.

       PAPERCONF           Full  path  to  a file containing the paper size to
                           use.

FILES
