💖 CIF2REF(1) — like, the manual page for cif2ref ✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're about to make CIF files make sense. this is from the General Commands Manual, section 1, and it's genuinely so useful it's not even funny. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

cif2ref — parse a CIF file and print out the essential information in the COD REF format. Accepts optional bibliography file in ref, xrf or plaintext format as the second command line argument. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like yes, that's the whole vibe. one CIF file, and optionally a bibliography file. that's it. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea: cif2ref parses a CIF file and prints out the essential information in the COD REF format. that's the whole main character moment.

and if you want, you can hand it an optional bibliography file as the second command line argument — it'll take it in ref, xrf or plaintext format. lowkey flexible of it, honestly. 🌈

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -c, --always-continue — keep going and return a successful return status even if errors are diagnosed. she's resilient, she's unbothered, she continues. 💖
  • -c-, --always-die — stop and return an error status if errors are diagnosed. no notes, no mercy, it's giving dramatic exit. 💀
  • --help, --usage — output a short usage message (this message) and exit. the classic "wait what do i type" save. 🙈
  • --version — output version information and exit. for when you need to know exactly which era of cif2ref you're living in. ⭐
