NAME

       cif_merge - merge data values in identical data blocks of multiple CIFs. Unique data items
       are combined into a single data block of the output CIF; data items with equivalent values
       are  silently  merged  into  one. When a value differs for the same data item and the same
       data block in two files, a warning (error) is issued.

SYNOPSIS

       cif_merge --options input1.cif input*.cif

DESCRIPTION

       Merge data values in identical data  blocks  of  multiple  CIFs.  Unique  data  items  are
       combined into a single data block of the output CIF; data items with equivalent values are
       silently merged into one. When a value differs for the same data item and  the  same  data
       block in two files, a warning (error) is issued.

OPTIONS

       --override-all
                         Override all data items in the recipient CIF.

       --dont-override-all
                         Do not override all data items in the recipient CIF
                         (default).

       --override-tags  _tag1,_tag2
                         Replace the values of the provided data items
                         (_tag1 and _tag2 in this example) with the new ones
                         instead of keeping the old values.

       --merge-tags  _tag1,_tag2
                         Merge the values of the provided data items
                         (_tag1 and _tag2 in this example).

       --use-perl-parser
                         Use Perl parser to parse CIF files.

       --use-c-parser
                         Use C parser to parse CIF files (default).

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

       --version
                         Output version information and exit.
