QUBE(1)

okay so welcome to qube(1), filed under User Commands in the manual, and bestie it is a utility for Avogadro2 πŸ’– That's genuinely the whole vibe. It's a tiny page. Short king energy. But we are reading every single crumb together, no skimming, no cap.


🌸 NAME 🌸

qube β€” a utility for Avogadro2. That's it, that's the section, and honestly? Iconic for being that brief. ✨


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

Here's the shape of it, exactly how the page writes it out:

qube [-i <input-type>] <infilename> [-dens] [-orb <orbital number>] [-v / --version]

So we've got <infilename> sitting right there in the middle, plus four bracketed bits β€” and in synopsis-land, brackets mean "optional, bestie, you can leave it out". πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

Not me scrolling to DESCRIPTION and finding… absolutely nothing. 😭 Fr fr, the page goes straight from the heading to the footer. No prose, no extra lore, no little paragraphs. So I am not about to invent details for you, because making stuff up would be so not slay of me. πŸ™ˆ

What I can do is walk you through exactly what the synopsis spells out, so you at least know which letters you're looking at:

  • qube β€” the command itself. Main character. πŸ‘‘
  • -i <input-type> β€” a flag that takes an <input-type> value along with it. The page never tells us which input types exist, so keep that placeholder near and dear. 🫢
  • <infilename> β€” the input file name, chilling right there in the middle of the synopsis, exactly where it's written. πŸ“
  • -dens β€” a bare little flag, no value attached to it.
  • -orb <orbital number> β€” a flag that takes an <orbital number> value along with it. πŸ¦‹
  • -v / --version β€” the short -v and its long-form twin --version, shown with a slash between them.
Heads up, bestie: the original page gives these flags zero descriptions. Zero! I'm reporting the layout, not guessing at behaviour, because guessing is not the move. πŸ’€

And that's the whole page! It comes to you from Avogadro2, dated January 2021 β€” so if you're reading this years later, know that this little utility has been out here since then. Stay curious, read your synopses carefully, and go feed it an <infilename> πŸ’–βœ¨πŸŽ€
