# symops(1)

print out symmetry operators for a given space group, or print out those symmetry operators that belong to the group, while diagnosing as errors those operators that do not belong to the group.

## NAME

symops - print out symmetry operators for a given space group, or print out those symmetry operators that belong to the group, while diagnosing as errors those operators that do not belong to the group.

## SYNOPSIS

symops --options P212121

symops --options P212121 -- -y,-x,z -x,y,z

symops --hall -- '-P 2 2'

symops --hall -- '-P 2 2' "-y,-x,z" "-x,y,z"

## DESCRIPTION

Print out symmetry operators for a given space group, or print out those symmetry operators that belong to the group, while diagnosing as errors those operators that do not belong to the group.

## OPTIONS

\-q, --quiet\
                   Do not output recognised operator names (default).

\-v, --verbose\
                   Print out symmetry operators, negate the '-q' option.

\--hall            Use Hall symbols for lookup

\--hermann-mauguin Use Hermann-Mauguin symbols for lookup

\--schoenflies     Use Schönflies symbols for lookup

\--error-messages\
                   Print error messages about unrecognised symmetry\
                   operators (default).

\--no-error-messages\
                   Do not print error messages about missing\
                   symmetry operators, just return a non-zero\
                   status if such are encountered.

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

\--version\
                   Output version information and exit.
