CHidentifier is a pun on Chirality Identifier. CHIdentifier is an easy-to-use command line program to determine if two molecular systems are chiral to each other and if one is an enantiomer of the other. The chirality is resolved within a tolerance value defined by the user. CHIdentifier requires three input parameters, the first two are the file names of each of the molecules to be tested, while the third is an optional tolerance (TOL) parameter. The format of the input molecules is required to be XYZ. CHIdentifier can generate sample files from a menu, depending on the chosen case, to facilitate the dynamics of use. The program outputs a binary answer in each case: 1 if the compared molecules are enantiomers and 0 otherwise.
