.SH SYNOPSIS
-\fBlyx\fR [ \fIcommand\-line switches\fR ] [ \fIname[.lyx] ...\fR ]
+\fBlyx@version_suffix@\fR [ \fIcommand\-line switches\fR ] [ \fIname[.lyx] ...\fR ]
.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBLyX\fR is too complex to be described completely in the "man" page
.TP
.BI \-dbg " feature[,feature...]"
where feature is a name or number.
-Use "\fBlyx \-dbg\fR" to see the list of available debug features.
+Use "\fBlyx@version_suffix@ \-dbg\fR" to see the list of available debug features.
.TP
\fB \-x [\-\-execute]\fP \fIcommand
where command is a lyx command.
.TP
\fB \-e [\-\-export]\fP \fIfmt
-where fmt is the export format of choice.
-Look on Tools->Preferences->File formats->Format to get an idea which parameters should be passed.
+where fmt is the export format of choice (latex, pdflatex, luatex, xetex, xhtml, text, lyx, ps, pdf, ...).
+Note that the order of \-e and \-x switches matters.
+.TP
+\fB \-E [\-\-export\-to]\fP \fIfmt \fIfilename
+where fmt is the export format of choice (see \-\-export), and filename is the destination filename. Note that any additional external file needed by filename (such as image files) will be exported as well to the folder containing filename (preserving the relative path embedded within the original LyX document, if any).
.TP
\fB \-i [\-\-import]\fP \fIfmt file.xxx
where fmt is the import format of choice and file.xxx is the file to be imported.
+.TP
+\fB \-f [\-\-force\-overwrite]\fP \fIwhat
+where what is is either "\fBall\fR", "\fBmain\fR" or "\fBnone\fR".
+Specify "\fBall\fR" to allow overwriting all files during a batch export,
+"\fBmain\fR" to allow overwriting the main file only, or "\fBnone\fR"
+to disallow overwriting any file. When this switch is followed by anything
+else other than "\fBall\fR", "\fBmain\fR" or "\fBnone\fR", the behavior is as
+if "\fBall\fR" was specified, but what follows is left on the command line for
+further processing.
+.TP
+\fB \-n [\-\-no\-remote]\fP
+open documents passed as arguments in a new instance, even if another
+instance of LyX is already running.
+.TP
+\fB \-r [\-\-remote]\fP
+by using the lyxpipe, ask an already running instance of LyX to open the
+documents passed as arguments and then exit. If the lyxpipe is not set up or
+is not working, a new instance is created and execution continues normally.
+.TP
+.BI \-batch
+causes LyX to run the given commands without opening a GUI window.
+Thus, something like:
+.br
+ lyx \-batch \-x "buffer\-print printer default dvips" myfile.lyx
+.br
+will cause LyX to print myfile.lyx to the default printer, using dvips and
+the default print settings (which, of course, have to have been configured
+already).
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.TP
-.B LYX_DIR_VER
+.B @LYX_DIR_VER@
can be used to specify which system directory to use.
.PP
The system directory is determined by searching for the file
.br
5) hardcoded lyx_dir (at build time: @real_pkgdatadir@)
.TP
-.B LYX_USERDIR_VER
+.B @LYX_USERDIR_VER@
can be used to specify which user directory to use.
.PP
The user directory is, in order of precedence:
.B LYX_LOCALEDIR
can be used to tell LyX where to look for the translations of its GUI
strings in other languages.
+
+.TP
+.B LYX_FORCE_OVERWRITE
+can be used to change the default behavior when exporting from command
+line.
+.PP
+By default, LyX overwrites the main file when exporting from command
+line but not the ancillary files. This behavior can be changed by setting
+this environment variable, which relieves the need of using the \-f switch.
+Allowed values are either "\fBall\fR", "\fBmain\fR" or "\fBnone\fR", with
+same meaning as for the \-f switch.
