Can I just get the page size with Ghostscript?

I am aware if this answer, but can it be done straight on the command line somewhat like this:

gs -dNODISPLAY -q -c "some postscript" input_file.pdf

as I cannot guarantee that pdf_info.ps is available where the command is run.

your answer is right here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12675371/how-to-set-custom-page-size-with-ghostscript -- make sure you break up the command for the ease of figuring out the actual command – unixmiah Feb 12 '16 at 23:54
That's about setting the page size - I need to get the page size; thanks for highlighting the ambiguity of the question – simone Feb 13 '16 at 00:00
