okay so bestie, welcome to phonopy-vasp-born(1), a User Commands moment, and honestly? it's giving iconic little command-line tool energy πŸ’…. it's part of the Phonopy era (v 2.48.0, no cap) and it's here to do exactly one thing and slay while doing it.


✨ NAME ✨

phonopy-vasp-born β€” the manual page for phonopy-vasp-born 2.48.0 🌸 (yes, that's literally the whole name section, she keeps it short and mysterious, main character behavior fr fr)


πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

omg okay here's the vibe check. the usage is exactly this, and do not freestyle it:

usage: phonopy-vasp-born [-h] [--dim SUPERCELL_MATRIX] [--pa PRIMITIVE_AXES]
                         [--nost] [--tolerance SYMPREC] [--outcar]
                         [filenames ...]

Phonopy vasp-born command-line-tool β€” that's her, that's the whole girlboss. πŸ’œ


πŸŽ€ positional arguments: πŸŽ€

  • filenames β€” the files you're feeding her, bestie. Specifically: vasprun.xml or OUTCAR and POSCAR. that's the menu, no substitutions pls πŸ“

πŸ’… options: πŸ’…

  • -h, --help β€” shows this help message and dips. the classic ✨ "help me help you" ✨ moment.
  • --dim SUPERCELL_MATRIX β€” same behavior as the DIM tag. exactly the same, iykyk.
  • --pa, --primitive-axis, --primitive-axes PRIMITIVE_AXES β€” same as the PRIMITIVE_AXES tags. three names, one icon πŸ‘‘ (yes she has aliases, she contains multitudes).
  • --nost, --no-symmetrize-tensors β€” prevents symmetrizing tensors. literally just stops the symmetrizing. don't overthink her 🫢
  • --tolerance SYMPREC β€” the symmetry tolerance to search with. that's your SYMPREC value, hand it over πŸ”₯
  • --outcar β€” read OUTCAR instead of vasprun.xml. heads up bestie: POSCAR is necessary in this case, like actually mandatory, no skipping πŸ™ˆ

🌈 little recap vibe check: --dim, --pa (aka --primitive-axis / --primitive-axes), --nost (aka --no-symmetrize-tensors), --tolerance, and --outcar. every single one present and accounted for, periodt.
