NAME

odfmeta - List or change the metadata of an ODF file

SYNOPSIS

odfmeta [-l] [-v] [-V] [-c] [-d] [-x metafield...] [-X metafield...] [-a metafield...]
[-A metafield...] [-I metafield...] [-o path] path

DESCRIPTION

odfmeta is a program that will list or change the metadata in an OpenDocument file. This
is useful for version control systems. You can change title, keywords, description etc.

“Path” is assumed to be an OpenDocument file of text, spreadsheet or presentation type.

OPTIONS

-l
List (extract) all known metadata fields.

-v or -V
Print the version number of the ODF document format. If you use -V it will print
"version:" before the number for compatibility with -X. The version number can't be
modified.

-c
Make field values continous by normalizing white space. Might be convenient when
postprocessing with standard (line oriented) text utilities.

-d
Update the modification date to the current date and time.

-x metafield
Extract the contents of this metafield from the file. Known field names are
creation-date, creator, date, description, editing-cycles, editing-duration,
generator, initial-creator, keyword, language, print-date, printed-by, subject, title,
user-defined. All other names are assumed to be user defined.

-X metafield
Same as -x, but also preserves/includes the field name.

-a metafield
Append a custom metafield to the metadata; but only if a similar field does not exist
yet.

-A metafield
Append a custom metafield to the metadata in any case.

-I metafield
Append a custom metafield to the metadata and remove any existing similar field.

-o path
Filename to write modified ODT file to. If no -o option is provided, the ODT file will
be written to stdout.

EXAMPLES

odfmeta -l odf-file.odt
odfmeta -I "title:The Little Engine That Could" -A subject:I-think-I-can -o newfile.odt source.odt
