## DESCRIPTION

Determine a space group from a list of symmetry operators (generators), using the Ralf's (Ralf Grosse-Kunstleve) algorithm.

## OPTIONS

\-o, --use-optimised-spacegroup-builder\
                   Use the space group builder algorithm optimised\
                   for speed as implemented in the\
                   COD::Spacegroups::Builder module (default).

\-s, --use-simple-spacegroup-builder\
                   Use the simpler and slower space group builder\
                   algorithm as implemented in the\
                   COD::Spacegroups::SimpleBuilder module.

\--debug\
                   Switch on debug printouts.

\--no-debug\
                   Switch of debug printouts (default).

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

\--version\
                   Output version information and exit.
