💖 CIF_MERGE — the girlies are combining their CIFs 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to cif_merge, straight out of the General Commands Manual (section 1, she's a command, she's iconic, she's fr fr doing the most) 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

cif_merge — merge data values in identical data blocks of multiple CIFs. Unique data items are combined into a single data block of the output CIF; data items with equivalent values are silently merged into one. When a value differs for the same data item and the same data block in two files, a warning (error) is issued.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

cif_merge --options input1.cif input*.cif

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the whole vibe here is: merge data values in identical data blocks of multiple CIFs. Unique data items get combined into a single data block of the output CIF, and data items with equivalent values are silently merged into one — no drama, no fuss, they just become one 💅

But when a value differs for the same data item and the same data block in two files? a warning (error) is issued. not me getting caught in 4K with conflicting values 😭

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --override-all — Override all data items in the recipient CIF. full send, everything gets replaced ✨
  • --dont-override-all — Do not override all data items in the recipient CIF (default). the chill, non-invasive option 🫶
  • --override-tags _tag1,_tag2 — Replace the values of the provided data items (_tag1 and _tag2 in this example) with the new ones instead of keeping the old values. you're picking exactly which ones get the glow-up 💖
  • --merge-tags _tag1,_tag2 — Merge the values of the provided data items (_tag1 and _tag2 in this example). combining energies, bestie 🌈
  • --use-perl-parser — Use Perl parser to parse CIF files.
  • --use-c-parser — Use C parser to parse CIF files (default).
  • --help, --usage — Output a short usage message (this message) and exit. the "wait what do I type" button 🙈
  • --version — Output version information and exit.
