perform reductions of the unit cell using different algorithms.

## NAME

cif\_reduce\_cell - perform reductions of the unit cell using different algorithms.

## SYNOPSIS

cif\_reduce\_cell --options input1.cif input\*.cif

## DESCRIPTION

Perform reductions of the unit cell using different algorithms.

## OPTIONS

\--use-perl-parser\
                   Use Perl parser for CIF parsing.

\--use-c-parser\
                   Use Perl & C parser for CIF parsing (default).
