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
              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;ObjectName

       --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. 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="<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 its 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.
