NAME

       odfuserfield - List or change the user-field declarations in an ODF file

SYNOPSIS

       odfuserfield [-l] [-L] [-x field...] [-X field...] [-s field:value...] [-o path] path

DESCRIPTION

       Odfuserfield is a program that will list or change the user variable declarations in an
       OpenDocument file. There are two kinds of variables in OpenDocument. Simple variables can
       take different values at different positions, throughout a document. User variables have
       the same value throughout a document. Due to the latter's global nature it is safe to
       change them with an external application.

       Use odfuserfield to fill out form letters before printing or giving to the user.

       “Path” is assumed to be an OpenDocument file of text, spreadsheet or presentation type.

OPTIONS

       -l
           List (extract) all known user-fields.

       -L
           List (extract) all known user-fields with type and value.

       -x field
           Extract the contents of this field from the file.

       -X field
           Same as -x, but also preserves/includes the field name and type.

       -s field:value
           Set the value of an existing user field. The field type will be the same.

       -o path
           Filename to write modified ODT file to. If no -o option is provided, the ODT file will
           be written to stdout.

EXAMPLE

           odfuserfield -L odf-file

TODO

       Implement formulas. See OpenDocument v1.0 specification section 6.3.5. This requires a
       different syntax for -s arguments.
