Name
libreoffice - LibreOffice office suite
DESCRIPTION
LibreOffice (LO for short) is a multi-platform office productivity suite. It was derived from OpenOffice.org 3.3 Beta on September 28, 2010. libreoffice is a shell script that sets up the environment and passes the command line arguments to the soffice.bin binary. Alternatively, the following helper scripts start the respective mod‐ ule: sbase, scalc, sdraw, simpress, smath, sofficerc, swriter
OPTIONS
--accept=accept-string
Specify a UNO connect-string to create a UNO acceptor through
which other programs can connect to access the API.
--base Starts the wizard for a new Base document.
--calc Starts with a new Calc document.
--convert-to output_file_extension[:output_filter_name] [--outdir out‐
put_dir] file...
Batch converts files. If --outdir is not specified then the
current working directory is used as the output directory for
the converted files. It implies --headless.
Examples:
--convert-to pdf *.doc
Converts all .doc files to PDFs.
--convert-to pdf:writer_pdf_Export --outdir /home/user *.doc
Converts all .doc files to PDFs using the settings in the Writer
PDF export dialog and saving them in /home/user.
--display display
This option specifies the X server to use; see X(7)
--draw Starts with a new Draw document.
--global
Starts with a new Global document.
--headless
Starts in "headless mode", which allows using the application
without user a interface.
This special mode can be used when the application is controlled
by external clients via the API.
It implies --invisible and strictly ignores any GUI environment.
--quickstart does not work with this parameter.
--help|-h|-?
Lists LibreOffice command line parameters.
--impress
Starts with a new Impress document.
--invisible
Starts in invisible mode.
Neither the start-up logo nor the initial program window will be
visible. LO can be controlled and documents and dialogs can be
opened via the API.
When started with this parameter, it can only be quit using the
taskmanager (Windows) or the kill command (UNIX based systems).
--quickstart does not work with this parameter.
--infilter="
