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 module:

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
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.

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="<filter>"

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 directory 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 it’s quick starter. −−quickstart disable the quick starter.

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

−−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.
