does the CLI option --cat (text to stdout) work?

Hi,

using:

LibreOffice-still.basic-x86_64.AppImage --version
LibreOffice 7.0.5.2 64390860c6cd0aca4beafafcfd84613dd9dfb63a

LibreOffice-still.basic-x86_64.AppImage --help

reports:

   --cat               Dump text content of the following files to console     
                       (implies --headless). Cannot be used with --convert-to. 


but the following produces no output:

./LibreOffice-still.basic-x86_64.AppImage --cat test.odt

Does this feature work?  

Cheers,
Bitrat
