CIF_EVAL_NUMBERS(1)

💖 CIF_EVAL_NUMBERS — the girlies are evaluating numbers 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the General Commands Manual (section 1, we love a section 1) and it's about cif_eval_numbers, which is genuinely such a useful little icon. let me put you on. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

cif_eval_numbers — read a CIF file and convert those number values that are written as simple fractions (e.g. "1/4") into a single floating point number.

like. it literally reads your CIF, spots the cute little fraction numbers like "1/4", and turns them into one actual floating point number. that's the whole job. she's focused, she's employed, she's thriving. 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

cif_eval_numbers --options input1.cif input*.cif

so you run it with your options, then one or more CIF files — and yes you can absolutely wildcard it with input*.cif, go off. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Read a CIF file and convert those number values that are written as simple fractions (e.g. "1/4") into a single floating point number.

that's it, that's the vibe. no cap. 🎀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -d, --dictionary cif_core.dic — use the specified DDL1 dictionary for determining which values are numeric. so like, the dictionary is the one deciding who counts as a number around here. gatekeeping, honestly, but valid. 👑
• -t, --tags-to-fix _tag_1,_tag_2,_tag_3 — specify an explicit list of tags that should be evaluated as numeric, without relying on a dictionary. no middleman, no committee, just you picking the tags yourself. main character energy fr fr.
• --fix-syntax-errors — try to fix those syntax errors in input CIFs that can be corrected unambiguously. she's a fixer, but only when there's exactly one possible fix. no guessing. 💖
• --no-fix-syntax-errors, — the no-fix option, spelled this way.
• --dont-fix-syntax-errors — do not try to fix syntax errors in input CIFs (default). she leaves the mess exactly as she found it. respectfully. 🙈
• --use-perl-parser — use development CIF parser written in Perl.
• --use-c-parser — use faster C/Yacc CIF parser (default). speed. she's fast. 🔥
• --debug — enable debug messages.
• --no-debug — disable debug messages (default).
• --help, --usage — output a short usage message (this message) and exit. our girl is so helpful.
• --version — output version information and exit.

😭 REPORTING BUGS 😭

found a bug? first of all, deep breaths. then report cif_eval_numbers bugs using e-mail:

cod-bugs@ibt.lt

she wants to hear from you. she wants to grow. 🌸

lowkey remember: the two parser flags are a whole vibe check — --use-c-parser is the default and it's the fast one, --use-perl-parser is the development one. pick wisely bestie. 🧚

okay so that's the whole page — cif_eval_numbers from the General Commands Manual, page CIF_EVAL_NUMBERS(1), and the footer on this one was literally just the title again, CIF_EVAL_NUMBERS(1), same as the header. periodt. go evaluate some numbers. slay. 💜⭐🎀
