QUBE(1)
okay so welcome to qube(1), filed under User Commands in the manual, and bestie it is a utility for Avogadro2 π 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.
πΈ NAME πΈ
qube β a utility for Avogadro2. That's it, that's the section, and honestly? Iconic for being that brief. β¨
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
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". π
π DESCRIPTION π
Not me scrolling to DESCRIPTION and findingβ¦ absolutely nothing. π 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. π
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:
qubeβ the command itself. Main character. π-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. π«Ά<infilename>β the input file name, chilling right there in the middle of the synopsis, exactly where it's written. π-densβ a bare little flag, no value attached to it.-orb <orbital number>β a flag that takes an<orbital number>value along with it. π¦-v / --versionβ the short-vand 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. π
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> πβ¨π
