The calligrasheets command is a command-line interface to the Calligra Sheets spreadsheet application. It allows users to create, view, and manipulate spreadsheet files from the command line. This can be useful for automating spreadsheet tasks, generating reports, and integrating spreadsheet functionality into scripts. The tool provides basic functionality, such as opening a spreadsheet, possibly making alterations, and saving it back. It is particularly useful when there's a need to process or generate spreadsheets without requiring a graphical user interface or any interactive operation. It can be used in server side contexts, automation workflows or just to quickly process documents without starting the full graphical Calligra Sheets application.

The full functionality of Calligra Sheets is not exposed through the command-line interface. Complex spreadsheet manipulations may require using the full graphical application or alternative scripting solutions. Support for file formats and options depends on the installed plugins.

The --convert-to option supports a variety of file formats. To find which are available, you can check the Calligra Sheets GUI save dialog, or experiment with the --convert-to option. Examples include, but are not limited to ODS, CSV, and potentially other formats depending on available plugins.

calligrasheets is part of the Calligra Suite, a free and open-source office suite originally based on KOffice. The command-line interface likely developed to facilitate scripting and automation of spreadsheet tasks, allowing for headless operation and integration with other tools. Its development and usage have mirrored that of Calligra Sheets itself, growing alongside the feature set of the graphical application.
