CDKCIF2XYZ(1)

🎀 CDKCIF2XYZ 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the cdkcif2xyz manual — it's a section 1 user command, aka a lil program you just run in your terminal, no cap. she's small, she's cute, she converts stuff. let's get into it 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

cdkcif2xyz — convert CIF to XYZ. that's the whole vibe. that's the whole job. 🦋

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically: she takes CIFs (Crystallographic Information Files, yes the full name, iykyk) and turns them into the super simple XYZ chemical format. the magic? it's all done using CDK. periodt. 💅

🌈 USAGE 🌈

the way you run her is literally just this:

cdkcif2xyz < input.cif cdkcif2xyz inputs*.cif

ok so this is exactly how it's written in the manual, bestie — pipe a <lavender>CIF</lavender> in with < input.cif, or throw a whole globby pile of files at her like inputs*.cif. she eats both. 🍓

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• --version — prints the program version and dips. that's it, that's the whole thing. ✨
• --help — prints the short help message (yes, this message, the one you're reading the vibe of) and exits. iconic behaviour honestly. 🙈

ngl there's not a lot of flags here — she's a simple girl, she does one thing and she does it well. 👑

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this was cdkcif2xyz version 0.4.0 from February 2026 — thanks for reading, ily, go convert some crystals 💖✨🦋🌸💅🫶
