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

SEE ALSO
       formail(1), id3tag(1)

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