For every \-\-check\-xyz option, there are the following corresponding
related options:

  \-\-check\-only\-xyz
                    Switch off any other checks and check ONLY xyz
                    (the last option on the command line wins).


  \-\-no\-check\-xyz, \-\-do\-not\-check\-xyz, \-\-dont\-check\-xyz
                    Switch off checks of xyz condition.

The check options are:


  \-\-check\-authors
                    Check if the author names comply with the COD name
                    syntax requirements. Default.


  \-\-check\-bibliography
                    Check if the bibliographical information referring to
                    the original source is present in the file. Default.


  \-\-require\-only\-doi
                    Treat the presence of the DOI as sufficient bibliographic
                    information.

  \-\-require\-full\-bibliography
                    Require a more detailed set of bibliographic information
                    containing items such as publication journal, year,
                    volume, page numbers, etc. Default.


  \-\-check\-chemical\-formula\-sum
                    Check if the summary chemical formula complies with
                    the chemical formula syntax requirements. This check
                    uses a simple syntax that does not take into account
                    things such as chemical element types, chemical element
                    order, etc. Default.


  \-\-check\-pd\-block\-relations
                    Check if the relations between powder diffractogram
                    and phase data blocks are properly described. Default.


  \-\-check\-spacegroup\-info


  \-\-check\-operators, \-\-check\-symmetry\-operators


  \-\-check\-unit\-cell


  \-\-check\-symmetry


  \-\-check\-simultaneous\-presence
                    Check if data items from a certain data item grouping
                    (e.g. atomic coordinates, anisotropic displacement
                    parameters, etc.) are all simultaneously present in
                    a data block. Missing data items are reported only
                    if at least one data item from the grouping is already
                    present in the data block. Default.


  \-\-check\-limits


  \-\-print\-limits


  \-\-add\-limits  limits.lst


  \-\-limits\-file limits.lst


  \-\-reset\-limits


  \-\-check\-adp\-presence
                    Check if each data block contains the atomic
                    displacement parameters. The check may optionally
                    be applied only to data files that were published after
                    a certain year (see \-\-max\-year\-adp\-presence\-is\-optional).
                    Default.

  \-\-max\-year\-adp\-presence\-is\-optional 1969
                    Check the presence of atomic displacement parameters
                    only in data files published after the specified year.
                    Modifies the behaviour of \-\-check\-adp\-presence.
                    Use \-\-no\-max\-year\-adp\-presence\-is\-optional to
                    override this option. Default: 1969.

  \-\-no\-max\-year\-adp\-presence\-is\-optional
                    Check the presence of atomic displacement parameters
                    in all data files regardless of the publication year.
                    Modifies the behaviour of \-\-check\-adp\-presence.


  \-\-check\-temperature\-factors
                    Alias of the \-\-check\-adp\-presence option.
                    Deprecated.

  \-\-max\-year\-temperature\-factors\-optional 1969
                    Alias of the \-\-max\-year\-adp\-presence\-is\-optional option.
                    Deprecated.

  \-\-no\-max\-year\-temperature\-factors\-optional
                    Alias of the \-\-no\-max\-year\-adp\-presence\-is\-optional option.
                    Deprecated.


  \-\-check\-shelx\-checksums
                    Validate the checksums of embedded SHELX files.
                    Default.


  \-\-check\-embedded\-file\-integrity


  \-\-check\-z


  \-\-check\-disorder


  \-\-check\-unquoted\-strings
                    Check if unquoted strings start or end with unusual
                    characters such as ";" or "'". The presence of such
                    features is a likely indication of an incorrectly
                    formatted multi\-line text field or a quoted string.
                    Disabled by default.


  \-\-check\-all
                    Enable all available checks.

  \-\-check\-none, \-\-dont\-check\-any,

  \-\-do\-not\-check\-any, \-\-no\-check\-any
                    Disable all available checks.


  \-\-help, \-\-usage

  \-\-version
                    Output version information and exit.
