CIF_PARSE(1)

🌸 CIF_PARSE 💅

okay bestie, welcome to cif_parse from the General Commands Manual section one — she's a lil command-line girly whose whole thing is: you hand her a CIF file, she parses it, and she prints out the structure that the CIF parser built for you. lowkey iconic behaviour tbh 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

cif_parse — parse a CIF file and print out the structure generated by the CIF parser. that's it, that's the job 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

cif_parse --options input1.cif input*.cif

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so basically: parse a CIF file and print out the structure generated by the CIF parser. no cap, that's literally the whole vibe. you feed her CIF, she gives you the parsed structure. periodt ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --input-cif, --input-json — tells her what format your input file(s) are in. the default is CIF, so if you don't say anything she just assumes CIF 🧚
• --output-dump — outputs the parsed CIF file in internal dump format. this is the default, so she does it without you even asking 🫶
• --output-json — outputs the generated structure in JSON instead. for the JSON girlies 💜
• --json — sets both the input and output formats to JSON. one flag, full JSON commitment, main character energy fr fr 🔥
• --use-perl-parser — uses the Perl parser for CIF parsing 🌸
• --use-c-parser — uses the Perl & C parser for CIF parsing 💅
• --help, --usage — outputs a short usage message (this message!) and exits. she's helping, she's leaving, she's booked and busy 😭
• --version — outputs version information and exits. just the numbers, no small talk ⭐

💀 REPORTING BUGS 💀

found a bug? not her fault but also please tell her — report cif_parse bugs using e-mail: cod-bugs@ibt.lt 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie 💖 it's from the General Commands Manual and it lives under the name CIF_PARSE(1) — the footer said exactly that, CIF_PARSE(1), with no extra source, version or date to spill, so there's nothing more to report. slay, stay parsed, bye 🎀✨
