Symbolic Link .sylk

What is Symbolic Link?

A text-based spreadsheet interchange format using records for cell positions, values, and related information. The SLK extension is also commonly used.

Single-sheet values only; formula calculation and macro execution are unavailable.

Technical details

LibreOffice Calc maps both .slk and .sylk files to the SYLK spreadsheet filter. [1]

Background and compatibility

The command-line importer can select that filter explicitly with --infilter="SYLK". [2]
