💖 IFEFFIT 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for ifeffit, and it lives in the IFEFFIT Suite (that's section 1 of the manual, iykyk) ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ifeffit — it's an interactive program for XAFS analysis, and yes it's exactly as iconic as it sounds 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ifeffit [options] files...

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so real talk: this manual page is just a lil quick-and-dirty summary of the ifeffit command. Fun fact — it was written for the Debian distribution specifically because the original program doesn't have a manual page at all 🙈 instead it's got documentation in the GNU Info format, so peek below for that.

ifeffit is an interactive program for XAFS analysis. Not me being obsessed but it literally combines the high-quality analysis algorithms of AUTOBK and FEFFIT with graphical display of XAFS data and general data manipulation. It's giving main character energy fr fr 👑

And here's the tea 🍓 — ifeffit shows up as a command-line program, but the underlying functionality is available as a programming library. The IFEFFIT library can be used from C, Fortran, Tcl, Perl, and Python. That means a whole variety of user interfaces (both graphical and non-graphical) can be written around IFEFFIT. Currently there are two graphical user interfaces built on the underlying IFEFFIT library: one called G.I.FEFFIT, and one called ATHENA. IFEFFIT and both GUIs are under active development, but they're fairly well tested and ready for use 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀
