💖 cif_reformat_AMCSD_author_names(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual, section 1 — this is where the little command-line icons live, and today's main character is cif_reformat_AMCSD_author_names. no cap, she's a one-trick pony but she does the trick flawlessly. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

cif_reformat_AMCSD_author_names — parse a CIF file, reformat author names in AMCSD convention into COD format.

literally that's the whole job. she takes AMCSD-style author names and gives them the COD glow-up. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

cif_reformat_AMCSD_author_names --options input1.cif input*.cif

so you pass some --options, then a CIF file, then a whole lil globby pile of *.cif files if you're feeling generous. she eats them all. 🍓

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Parse a CIF file, reformat author names in AMCSD convention into COD format.

that's it, that's the vibe. AMCSD names in → COD names out. she's not doing your taxes, she's not renaming your cats, she is specifically here for the author names. periodt. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --keep-tag-order — keeps the original tag order in the CIF file. this is the default, so if you say nothing, she says nothing back and just... keeps the order. respectful. 🫶
  • --sort-tags — reorders the tags in the CIF file according to COD. if you like your tags alphabetised-adjacent and COD-approved, this one's for you. ✨
  • --use-perl-parser — uses the Perl parser to parse CIF files. yes, the Perl one. she contains multitudes. 🐪
  • --use-c-parser — uses the C parser to parse CIF files. this one is the default, so it's basically the main character parser. 👑
  • --help, --usage — outputs a short usage message (this message, hi) and exits. she tells you how to use her and then she leaves. iconic behaviour honestly. 💖
  • --version — outputs version information and exits. just a quick "hey, here's who I am" moment. 🌈
