NAME
       obabel -- a converter for chemistry and molecular modeling data files

SYNOPSIS
       obabel [-H help-options]
       obabel	 [OPTIONS]    [-i   input-type	 |   -:SMILES-string]	infile
	      [-o output-type] -O outfile

DESCRIPTION
       obabel is a cross-platform program  designed  to	 interconvert  between
       many  file  formats  used in molecular modeling and computational chem-
       istry and related areas.

       Open Babel is also a complete programmers toolkit for developing	 chem-
       istry  software.	 For  more  information,  see the Open Babel web pages
       <http://openbabel.org/>.

OPTIONS
       If only input and output	files are given, Open  Babel  will  guess  the
       file type from the filename extension.

       -:SMILES-string
	     Enter  SMILES  string  and	 use it	in place of an input file. The
	     SMILES-string might need to be enclosed  in  quotation  marks  to
	     avoid  shell  interpretation.   More  than	one can	be used, and a
	     molecule title can	be included if enclosed	in quotes.

       -aoptions
	     Format-specific input options. See	-H format-ID for  options  al-
	     lowed by a	particular format

       --addtotitle
	     Append text to the	current	molecule title

       --addformula
	     Append the	molecular formula after	the current molecule title

       -b    Convert dative bonds: e.g., [N+]([O-])=O to N(=O)=O

       -c    Center atomic coordinates at (0,0,0)

       -C    Combine molecules in first	file with others having	the same name

       -e    Continue after errors

       -d    Delete Hydrogens

       ---errorlevel n
	     Filter the	level of errors	and warnings displayed:
		    1 =	critical errors	only
		    2 =	include	warnings too (default)
		    3 =	include	informational messages too
		    4 =	include	"audit log" messages of	changes	to data
		    5 =	include	debugging messages too

       -f #  For  multiple  entry  input,  start import	with molecule #	as the
	     first entry

       -F    Output the	available fingerprint types

       -h    Add hydrogens

       -H    Output usage information

       -H format-ID
	     Output formatting information and options for format specified

       -Hall
	     Output formatting information and options for all formats

       -i format-ID
	     Specifies input format, see below for the available formats

       -j, --join
	     Join all input molecules into a single output molecule entry

       -k    Translate computational chemistry modeling	keywords (e.g.,	GAMESS
	     and Gaussian)

       -m    Produce multiple output files, to allow:
		   -   Splitting one input file	- put each molecule into  con-
		       secutively numbered output files
		   -   Batch conversion	- convert each of multiple input files
		       into a specified	output format

       -l #  For multiple entry	input, stop import with	molecule # as the last
	     entry

       -o format-ID
	     Specifies output format, see below	for the	available formats

       -O outfile
	     Specify the output	file

       -p    Add Hydrogens appropriate for pH (use transforms in phmodel.txt)

       --property
	     Add or replace a property (e.g., in an MDL	SD file)

       -s SMARTS
	     Convert only molecules matching the SMARTS	pattern	specified

       --separate
	     Separate disconnected fragments into individual molecular records

       -t    All input files describe a	single molecule

       --title title
	     Add or replace molecular title

       -xoptions
	     Format-specific  output options. See -H format-ID for options al-
	     lowed by a	particular format

       -v SMARTS
	     Convert only molecules NOT	matching SMARTS	pattern	specified

       -V    Output version number and exit

       -z    Compress the output with gzip

FORMAT OPTIONS
       Individual file formats may have	additional formatting options.

       Input format options are	preceded by a, e.g., -as

       Output format options are preceded by x,	e.g., -xn

       For further specific information	and options, use -H format-type, e.g.,
       -Hcml

EXAMPLES
       Standard	conversion:
	     obabel ethanol.xyz	-Oethanol.pdb
       Conversion from a SMI file in STDIN to a	Mol2 file written to STDOUT:
	     obabel -ismi -omol2
       Split a multi-molecule file into	new1.smi, new2.smi, etc.:
	     obabel infile.mol -Onew.smi -m
