✨ DDL1-TO-DDLM ✨

okay bestie, welcome to ddl1-to-ddlm, a little icon from the General Commands Manual section of your local system 💖 she's here to take your crusty old DDL1 dictionaries and glow them up into DDLm. literally a makeover montage but for crystallographic dictionaries 🧚✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

ddl1-to-ddlm — convert DDL1 dictionaries to DDLm. that's the whole job. she does one thing and she slays at it 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ddl1-to-ddlm --options dictionary1.dic dictionary*.dic

so like, you drop your options first, then one or more .dic files, and she goes to work 🦋

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Convert DDL1 dictionaries to DDLm.

that's it. that's the vibe. in goes DDL1, out comes DDLm, and you get to go touch grass while she does it 🌈

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --new-version 1.23.45 — set the version of the converted dictionary. you literally hand her the version string yourself, like 1.23.45, and she stamps it on 🏷️
• --use-current-date — set the dictionary modification date to today. this is the default, so if you do nothing, this is what you get ⭐
• --keep-original-date — retain the original dictionary modification date. she keeps the old timestamp instead of refreshing it, no cap 🕰️
• --imports 'cif_core.dic,cif_cod.dic' — a list of CIF dictionary files (compliant with DDLm) that are used in the converted dictionary's definitions and have to be included in the converted dictionary. list elements are separated either by , or — so commas or spaces, dealer's choice 💫
• --add-import 'cif new dictionary.dic' — add an additional CIF dictionary to the import list. one more bestie joins the group chat 🫶
• --clear-imports — remove all CIF dictionaries from the import list. poof. gone. everybody out 📭
• --help, --usage — output a short usage message (this message) and exit. she tells you how to use her, then dips 👋
• --version — output version information and exit. for when you need to know which her you're talking to 🙈
