🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, meet cdkcif2sdf — she converts CIF to SDF. that's it, that's the whole job. iconic behavior fr fr. 💅

(also yes this is the manual page for CDKCIF2SDF(1), the User Commands one, we're all up in here together 🫶)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what she does is: she takes your CIFs (Crystallographic Information Files, iykyk) and converts them into the SDF chemical format, using CDK. no cap, that's literally the vibe. 🦋

💻 USAGE

cdkcif2sdf < input.cif cdkcif2sdf inputs*.cif

like, run it, pipe a file in, glob a bunch of files, whatever — she's flexible bestie 😌

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • --version — prints the program version and then dips out. exit. bye. 👋
  • --help — prints a short help message (this exact message, she's self-aware like that 💀) and exits.
💀 not me telling you to actually read the options before you go glob-ing a whole directory of CIFs. anyway. do it. periodt.

and that's the whole page babes 💖 this was cdkcif2sdf version 0.4.0, brought to you by February 2026, filed under CDKCIF2SDF(1) in the User Commands section. slay, go convert something, mwah 🎀✨👑
