SMI_CHEMICAL_FORMULA(1)

πŸ“¦ version 0.4.0, in ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

okay bestie, so smi_chemical_formula β€” it computes the chemical formula from SMILES ✨ literally the whole point of this lil guy πŸ’…


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

πŸŽ€ USAGE πŸŽ€

so you run it like this, no cap:

smi_chemical_formula [<args>] [<files>]

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

smi_chemical_formula reads in SMILES πŸ“– and spits out a summary chemical formula for each SMILES entry. that's it. that's the whole vibe. one SMILES in, one formula out, repeat until the file runs out πŸ“

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --distinguish-hydrogen-isotopes β€” okay so when this is on, deuterium gets written out as D and tritium as T πŸ’« like yes we're being specific about our hydrogens, main character energy fr fr
  • --no-distinguish-hydrogen-isotopes β€” and this one writes deuterium and tritium both as plain old H πŸ™ˆ this is the [default], so if you don't say anything, this is what you get 🫢
  • --help β€” prints the usage message and then dips, exit stage left πŸ‘‘ nothing else happens, it's just the help ✨

ngl bestie, that's the entire option list β€” short and iconic, we love a minimal interface πŸ’…

and that's a wrap!! this was smi_chemical_formula from version 0.4.0+dfsg, dated February 2026 🌈 thanks for reading my little manual moment, ily, go compute some formulas πŸ’œ
