.SH DESCRIPTION
Parse CIF file and print out the structure generated by CIF parser.

.SH OPTIONS
\-\-fix\-errors
                  Try to fix syntax errors in the input CIF files that can
                  be corrected unambiguously.


\-\-dont\-fix\-errors, \-\-no\-fix\-errors
                  Do not try to fix syntax errors in input CIF files (default).


\-\-strict
                  Strictly adhere to JSON syntax, i.e., make a top level
                  list container for CIF data blocks and put comma (",")
                  separators between consecutive CIF data blocks.

\-\-no\-strict, \-\-relaxed, \-\-stream, \-\-concatenate
                  Print stream of JSON objects, where an object stands for
                  a CIF data block. Such output does not include comma (",")
                  separators between top level objects, thus streaming
                  parsers have to be used (default).


\-\-canonical
                  Print JSON objects with key\-value pairs sorted in a
                  canonical way. The usage of this option is discouraged
                  due to the added overhead.

\-\-no\-canonical
                  Print JSON object with key\-value pairs sorted in the
                  order Perl stores them. Due to this, the outputs might
                  differ between different runs of the script with
                  identical parameters (default).


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

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


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

\-\-version
                  Output version information and exit.
