CIF_SYMOP_APPLY(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, gather round: cif_symop_apply — she applies symmetry operator(s) to all the atoms in a CIF. every single one. no atom left behind, periodt. 🦋

this is the cif_symop_apply(1) manual page from the General Commands Manual, and we're about to make it make sense, fr fr.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

cif_symop_apply --options input1.cif input*.cif

like. give her some options, give her some CIF files, and watch her go. input1.cif is your main girl and input*.cif is the whole friend group she's bringing along 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Apply symmetry operator(s) to all atoms in a CIF.

that's it. that's the whole vibe. the way she just does that. 👑

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -s, --symop, --symmetry-operator -x,-y,z — Apply the specified symmetry operator. this is the main character right here, you hand her the operator and she uses it. ✨
• -a, --add-symop, --add-symmetry-operator -x,-y,z — Add the specified symmetry operator to the applied operator list. notice the difference bestie: -s sets, -a adds. she's stacking them. she's building a whole collection. 🫶
• --use-perl-parser — Use development CIF parser written in Perl. the dev build, the experimental one, the indie darling 🍓
• --use-c-parser — Use faster C/Yacc CIF parser. Default. she's faster, she's the standard, she's literally the one running unless you say otherwise. no cap. 🔥
• --help, --usage — Output a short usage message (this message) and exit. she tells you how to use her and then she dips 👋
• --version — Output version information and exit. just the facts, then out the door 💫
