NAME

ct-ext — compute absorbance for structure(s) in .ct format

SYNOPSIS

ct-ext [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION

ct-ext computes the UV absorbance of each structure in each FILE and writes it to standard output.

When no FILE is specified, or if FILE is -, ct-ext reads standard input.

OPTIONS
