NAME

       cif2cbf - convert a CIF to a CBF file

SYNOPSIS

       cif2cbf [options]

DESCRIPTION

       cif2cbf  is  a  program that accepts either a CIF or a CBF as input and
       outputs a CBF file.

OPTIONS

       -i input_cif
              (default: stdin) the input  file  in  CIF  or  CBF  format.   If
              input_cif is not specified or is given as "-", it is copied from
              stdin to a temporary file.

       -o output_cbf
              (default: stdout) the output cif (if base64 or  quoted-printable
              encoding  is  used)  or  cbf  (if  no  encoding is used).  if no
              output_cif is specified or  is  given  as  "-",  the  output  is
              written  to  stdout if the output_cbf is /dev/null, no output is
              written.

       The remaining options specify the characteristics of  the  output  cbf.
       The characteristics of the input cif are derived from context.

       -c compression_scheme
              (packed,  canonical,  byte_offset, v2packed, flatpacked or none,
              default packed)

       -m [no]headers
              (default headers for cifs, noheaders for cbfs) selects MIME  (N.
              Freed,  N.  Borenstein,  RFC 2045, November 1996) headers within
              binary data value text fields.

       -d [no]digest
              (default md5 digest [R. Rivest, RFC 1321, April  1992  using"RSA
              Data  Security,  Inc.  MD5  Message-Digest Algorithm"] when MIME
              headers are selected)

       -e encoding
              (base64, quoted-printable or none, default base64) specifies one
              of  the standard MIME encodings for an ascii cif or "none" for a
              binary cbf

       -b byte_order
              (forward or backwards, default forward (1234)  on  little-endian
              machines, backwards (4321) on big-endian machines

       -p K_of_padding
              (0, 1, 2, 4) for no padding after binary data 1023, 2047 or 4095
              bytes of padding after binary data

       -v dictionary
              specifies a dictionary to be used to validate the input cif  and
              to  apply  aliases  to  the  output  cif.   This  option  may be
              specified multiple times, with dictionaries layered in the order
              given.

       -w     process wide (2048 character) lines
