Synopsis

/usr/bin stdin stdout - file -- opt --help --version

abiword is another program for editing Microsoft Word documents. It is smaller and quicker than soffice, though not as powerful, and perfectly suitable for many editing tasks. If you specify files on the command line, they must exist: abiword won’t create them for you.
