margins of book class
Suppose I have a tex file with uses some document class and some packages which might control the margins of the document hidden to me as user (perhaps the document class sets the margins using the geometry package or via typearea or in an other way, let us assume, that we don't know). Is there any way to print the actual page margins (top, bottom, left, right) of the document? It would be enough to get this as compiler output.
