CIF_HKL_CHECK(1)

💖 CIF_HKL_CHECK(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to cif_hkl_check — it lives in your General Commands Manual and it's literally the friend who checks that your CIF files and your diffraction data files are actually, you know, talking to each other. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

cif_hkl_check — check the correspondence between CIF and diffraction data files, taking data block names, cell parameters, author lists and symmetry group names into account.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

cif_hkl_check --options input.cif input.hkl input2.cif input2.hkl
input*.{cif,hkl}

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Check the correspondence between CIF and diffraction data files, taking data block names, cell parameters, author lists and symmetry group names into account.

like. that's the whole vibe. it looks at your CIF and your diffraction data and goes "bestie… do these two actually match?" and it does NOT just glance at the filenames, it's doing a full vibe check on the data block names, the cell parameters, the author lists AND the symmetry group names. four things. all at once. she's thorough fr fr. 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --use-perl-parser — use the Perl parser for CIF parsing. that's it, that's the whole option, iconic.
• --use-c-parser — use the Perl & C parser for CIF parsing. this is the default, so if you didn't ask for anything, this is what you got. 🫶
• --help, --usage — output a short usage message (this message) and exit. the classic "help me pls" move. 😭
• --version — output version information and exit. so you can know what you're working with. periodt.

🎀 REPORTING BUGS 🎀

found a bug? not me finding bugs 🙈 report cif_hkl_check bugs using e-mail: cod-bugs@ibt.lt 💌

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 💖 this was CIF_HKL_CHECK(1) from the General Commands Manual, and yeah — the header said CIF_HKL_CHECK(1) too, because symmetry is literally the whole theme of this program. slay. ✨🦋🌸
