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.

       --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 parame‐
	      ter.

       --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=""
	      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.

       --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.
