tlmgr-paper:tldr:35b0b
This command is using the tlmgr command-line tool to obtain information about available paper sizes for a specific engine (pdftex in this case).
Here's how the command is broken down:
-
tlmgr
: This is the command-line tool for managing TeX Live packages and distributions. It allows you to perform various operations like installing, updating, or listing packages. -
${pdftex}
: This is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the actual name of the engine you want to check. For example, if you want to check paper sizes for XeTeX, you would replace${pdftex}
withxetex
. -
paper --list
: This is the argument passed to the tlmgr command. Thepaper
command is used to manage paper size settings for different engines. The--list
option requests a list of available paper sizes for the specified engine.
So, when you execute this command with the correct engine name, it will use tlmgr to retrieve a list of available paper sizes for that engine.
