It is a companion utility to +\fBGnumeric\fR, the powerful spreadsheet program created by the GNOME +project. + +\fBssconvert\fR accepts either file names or URIs as \fIinfile\fR +\fIoutfile\fR. The special URIs \fIfd://0\fR and \fIfd://1\fR can be +used for standard input and standard output respectively. + +.SH OPTIONS +This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with single +letter options starting with a single dash (`-') and longer options +starting with two dashes (`--'). + +.SS "Main options" +.TP +.B \-\-recalc +Recalculate all cells before writing the result. +.TP +.B \-\-set \fICELL=CONTENTS\fR +Set the value of \fICELL\fR to \fICONTENTS\fR. To +put an expression in a cell, add an extra =, for example \-\-set "A11==A10+1". +This option may be repeated as many times as needed. The workbook will be +recalculated after all cells have been set, provided that the workbook is +set for automatic recalculation. If not, recalculation can be forced +with \-\-recalc. +.TP +.B \-v, \-\-verbose +Be slightly more verbose about what is going on. +.TP +.B \-\-list\-exporters +List the available exporters (file formats that can be written). +.TP +.B \-T, \-\-export\-type=\fIID\fR +Specify which exporter to use; see below for a list. This is only +necessary when the right format does not follow from the output file +name. The list of available export formats can be generated using the +\-\-list\-exporters option. However, when image export is requested +using the \-\-export\-graphs option, the list of image formats should be +consulted instead. That list can be generated using the +\-\-list\-image\-formats option. +.TP +.B \-O, \-\-export\-options=\fIoptionsstring\fR +Specify parameters for the chosen exporter. +\fIoptionsstring\fR is a list of \fIparameter\fR=\fIvalue\fR pairs, separated +by spaces. +The parameter names and values allowed are specific to the exporter and are +documented below.

The list of available image +formats can be printed with \-\-list\-image-formats +.TP +.B \-\-list\-importers +List the available importers (file formats that can be read). +.B \-I, \-\-import\-type=\fIID\fR +Specify which importer to use; see below for a list.

The merge will be aborted if there are name conflicts. +.TP +.B \-S, \-\-export\-file\-per\-sheet +Export a file for each sheet if the exporter only supports one sheet at a +time. The output filename is treated as a template in which sheet number +is substituted for %n, sheet name is substituted for %s, and sheet object +name is substituted for %o in case of graph export.
