OPENMX(1)

📦 version 3.8.5, in ubuntu jammy

💖 OPENMX(1) 💖

okay bestie, sit down, grab your strawberry milk 🍓 because we're talking about openmx, and this is genuinely one of those tools that's lowkey iconic. it lives in the OPENMX(1) section of the manual, so you know it's a command you run yourself. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

openmx — a whole package for nano-scale material simulations 🧚

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

openmx [file]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one optional file and you're off 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so openmx is a program that calculates electronic structure using DFT. no cap. that's the whole job, and it does it beautifully 🔥

👑 OPTIONS 👑

okay so here's the thing, and I need you to really hear me on this one:

  • the program doesn't accept any other options. like, zero. none. nope. 🚫

everything — and I mean everything — is given in the file specified at the command line. so that file? it's the main character. it's carrying the entire plot. all your settings, all your wishes, all your dreams, they go in there. the command line is not the place, bestie 😭

so don't come at it with flags. it will simply not be interested. put it in the file. periodt. 💅
