DESCRIPTION
       LibreOffice  (LO for short) is a multi-platform office productivity suite.  It was derived from Open‐
       Office.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 module:

       sbase, scalc, sdraw, simpress, smath, sofficerc, swriter

OPTIONS
       --accept=accept-string
	      Specifies	 a  UNO-URL connect-string to create a UNO acceptor through which other programs can
	      connect to access the API. Note that API access allows execution of arbitrary  commands.	 The
	      syntax of a UNO-URL connect-string is: uno:connection-type,params;protocol-name,params;Object‐
	      Name

       --base Starts the wizard for a new Base document.

       --calc Starts with a new Calc document.

       --cat file...
	      Dump  text content of the following files to console (implies --headless). Cannot be used with
	      --convert-to.

       --convert-to output_file_extension[:output_filter_name] [--outdir output_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 con‐
	      trolled 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=""
	      Force an input filter type if possible.  For example --infilter="Calc Office Open XML" only

       --math Starts with a new Math document.

       --minimized
	      Keeps the splash screen minimized.

       -n template...
	      Creates the a new document from the given templates.

       --nodefault
	      Starts  LO without creating a new document.  The next time you start LO, the welcome screen is
	      shown.

	      It's used together with --nologo by quick starters. Note that --quickstart has no longer	been
	      supported since OpenOffice.org 2.0.0.

       --nolockcheck
	      Disables the check for remote instances using the installation.

       --nologo
	      Disables the splash screen at program start.

       --norestore
	      Disables	restart	 and  file recovery after a system crash. It is possible that LO will try to
	      restore a file it keeps crashing on, if that happens --norestore is the only way to start LO.

       --nosplash
	      Disables the splash screen at program start.

       -o file...
	      Opens the given files for editing, even templates.

	      Without -o a template file would create a new document derived from that template.

       -p file...
	      Prints the given files to the default printer and ends. The splash screen does not appear.

	      If the file name contains spaces, then it must be enclosed in quotation marks.

       --print-to-file [--printer-name printer_name] [--outdir output_dir] file...
	      Batch print files to file.  If --printer-name is not specified the default  printer  is  used.
	      If  --outdir  is not specified then the current working directory is used as the output direc‐
	      tory for the converted files.

	      Examples:

	      --print-to-file *.doc

	      Prints all .doc files to the current working directory using the default printer.

	      --print-to-file --printer-name nasty_lowres_printer --outdir /home/user *.doc

	      Prints all .doc files to /home/user directory using the nasty_lowres_printer.

       --pt printername file...
	      Prints the given files to the printer printername and ends. The splash screen does not appear.

	      If a file name contains spaces, then it must be enclosed in quotation marks.

       --quickstart --quickstart=no
	      Starts LO with its quick starter.	 --quickstart disable the quick starter.

	      Does not work with --invisible or --headless.

       --script-cat file
	      Dump text content of any scripts embedded in the files to console (implies --headless). Cannot
	      be used with --convert-to.

       --show Impress file...
	      Opens the given Impress files, starts the presentation and quits after they have finished.

       --unaccept=accept-string
	      Closes an acceptor that was created with --accept option.

	      Use --unaccept=all to close all open acceptors.

       --terminate_after_init
	      Starts LO and terminates after it registers some UNO services.  Doesn't show the splash during
	      startup.

       --view file...
	      Opens the given files read-only creating a temporary copy of them at $TMPDIR.

       --web  Starts with a new HTML document.

       --writer
	      Starts with a new Writer document.
