Command-line arguments

You provide command line arguments to the VASP executables. These options give you access to some build information about the executables without the need to provide all necessary input files to run VASP. You can also use the dry run mode to quickly check the sanity of your input files.

--cpp-options / -c

Print the CPP_OPTIONS set in the makefile.include during the build of the executable to the standard output. The code exits after printing the CPP_OPTIONS.

--link-line / -l

Print the LLIBS set in the makefile.include during the build of the executable to the standard output. The code exits after printing the LLIBS.

--version / -v

Print the version string of this VASP executable. In addition, report when the VASP executable was build and whether this is a gamma-only or a complex version of VASP.
