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

this parameter.
--help|-h|-?
Lists LibreOffice command line parameters.
--impress
Starts with a new Impress document.

Starts in invisible mode.
Neither the start-up logo nor the initial program window will be visible. LO can be controlled

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.
