## NAME

## SYNOPSIS

cif\_eval\_numbers --options input1.cif input\*.cif

## DESCRIPTION

Read a CIF file and convert those number values that are written as simple fractions (e.g. "1/4") into a single floating point number.

## OPTIONS

\-d, --dictionary cif\_core.dic\
                   Use the specified DDL1 dictionary for determining which\
                   values are numeric.

\-t, --tags-to-fix \_tag\_1,\_tag\_2,\_tag\_3\
                   Specify an explicit list of tags that should be\
                   evaluated as numeric, without relying on a\
                   dictionary.

\--fix-syntax-errors\
                   Try to fix those syntax errors in input CIFs that can\
                   be corrected unambiguously.

\--no-fix-syntax-errors,

\--dont-fix-syntax-errors\
                   Do not try to fix syntax errors in input CIFs (default).

\--use-perl-parser\
                   Use development CIF parser written in Perl.

\--use-c-parser\
                   Use faster C/Yacc CIF parser (default).

\--debug\
                   Enable debug messages.

\--no-debug\
                   Disable debug messages (default).

\--help, --usage\
                   Output a short usage message (this message) and exit.

\--version\
                   Output version information and exit.
