ODFUSERFIELD(1) User commands ODFUSERFIELD(1)
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.
