PHONOPY-QE-BORN(1)

✨ PHONOPY-QE-BORN ✨

okay bestie, pull up a chair because we're talking about phonopy-qe-born 💅 this lil icon lives in the User Commands section of the manual, and honestly? it's giving "tiny tool, huge slay."

🌸 NAME 🌸

phonopy-qe-born — the manual page for phonopy-qe-born 2.48.0, no cap. that's literally the whole name section, she's concise like that 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe check: you run her like this

phonopy-qe-born [-h] [--no-symmetrize-tensors] [--tolerance SYMPREC]

       file_pw_in file_ph_out

and what she does is parse a phonopy BORN file from QE output ✨ like, she takes your Quantum ESPRESSO output and turns it into the BORN file phonopy wants. that's her whole main character moment and she ate fr fr.

💜 positional arguments:

• file_pw_in — the input file for pw.x 👑 hand it over bestie.
• file_ph_out — the output file of ph.x 🫶 yes queen, this one too.

🌈 options:

• -h, --help — shows this help message and dips. the classic. the iconique. every tool has one and she's no exception 💖
• --no-symmetrize-tensors — symmetrize tensors. lowkey a whole toggle, highkey important.
• --tolerance SYMPREC — the symmetry tolerance used to symmetrize tensors. so if you're like "bestie the symmetry matching is being picky," this is the knob you're reaching for 🎀

ngl there really isn't a "description beyond this" section — she's a little command with a little manual page and she's thriving, periodt. no warnings, no bugs, no environment variables, no exit statuses, nothing hiding in the shadows 🙈
