                                          [FILE ...]

Merges results from a list of pose files (such as from Glide subjobs) into a
single pose file, sorted by the docking score or a specified property. The pose
files must be already sorted by the docking score or the specified property.

The input and output pose files can be in Maestro or SD format, uncompressed
(.mae or .sdf) or compressed (.maegz, .mae.gz, or .sdfgz). The same format must
be used for all files, both input and output. You can combine pose-viewer files
(_pv.mae[gz]) into ensemble pose-viewer files (_epv.mae[gz]). When multiple
pose-viewer files are given as input, only the receptor from the first file is
included in the merged output, unless the -epv option is specified.

positional arguments:
  FILE                  The files to merge and sort.

Modes of Operation (at least one is required):
  -o OUTPUT_FILE        Write the best-scoring poses to OUTPUT_FILE.
  -h, -help             Show this message and exit.

File Options:
  -f FILE_LIST, -file_list FILE_LIST
                        Additional method of specifying the Glide pose files,
                        if listing them on the command line would exceed shell
                        line length limits. Each line in the FILE_LIST file
                        should have one filename in it.
  -b BATCH_SIZE, -batch BATCH_SIZE
                        Number of files to merge at a time; equal to the
                        number of file handles open at once. If this is less
                        than the number of pose files to merge, then merges
                        will be done iteratively. Valid only for `glide_merge`
                        and `glide_sort` in large file mode. (default = 128).

Merging Options:
  -k PROPERTY_NAME      Use PROPERTY_NAME as the merge key. (default =
                        "r_i_docking_score").
  -default VAL          Default value to use for missing key properties. If
                        not provided, poses missing a key property are placed
                        first.
  -descending           Merge files that have been sorted in descending order.

Output Options:
  -norecep              Don't treat receptors specially. The default is to
                        write a pose-viewer file if a native Glide sorting
                        criterion is used and if receptors are found. Native
                        Glide sorting criteria are those specified by any
                        `-use` option other than `-use_prop` or by lack of a
                        `-use` option. Receptors are identified by the
                        presence of a `b_glide_receptor` property with a value
                        of 1. In a pose-viewer file, the first structure is a
                        receptor found as the first structure, followed by
                        ligands in order of score. Receptors beyond the first
                        are ignored.
  -epv                  Sort in ensemble pose-viewer mode. In this mode, all
                        unique receptors are written at the beginning of the
                        sorted output and there are properties linking each
                        pose with its receptor.
  -n NREPORT, -nreport NREPORT
                        Retain only the NREPORT lowest-scoring poses. May be
                        combined with `-nbest` and `-ndistinct`. The total
                        ligands reported will the lesser of all conditions.
  -nbest N              Number of poses to report for each ligand. By default,
                        reports best by (file, ligand number). However, may be
                        combined with `-best_by_prop`, `-best_by_lignum`, or
                        `-best_by_title` to override the default. May be
                        combined with `-nreport` and `-ndistinct`.
  -ndistinct N_LIGANDS  Retain poses for the N_LIGANDS lowest-scoring distinct
                        ligands. No more ligands will be reported once this
                        condition is satisfied. The `-best_by_*` family of
                        flags is used to determine distinctness. May be
                        combined with `-nreport` and `-nbest`.
  -best                 Alias for `-nbest 1`.
  -best_by_prop PROP    Keep only the best pose(s) for each ligand with a
                        given value to a user-specified property.
  -best_by_lignum       Synonym for `-best_by_prop "i_i_glide_lignum"`.
  -best_by_title        Synonym for `-best_by_prop "s_m_title"`.
  -reset_lignum         Reset the ligand numbers.
  -q, -quiet            Don't write summary to standard output.
  -allow_empty_output   Write empty output file when there are no poses.

Custom Scoring Function Options:
  Setting any of these custom scoring function terms causes `glide_merge` to use only on the custom scoring function instead of the usual `-use_...` options.

  -gscore COEF          GlideScore coefficient.
  -cvdw COEF            E(CvdW) coefficient.
  -internal COEF        E(internal) coefficient.
  -emodel COEF          Emodel coefficient.

Filter Options:
  -hbond_cut CUTOFF     Filter cutoff for H-bond energy. (default = 0.0)
  -cvdw_cut CUTOFF      Filter cutoff for E(CvdW). (default = 0.0)
  -metal_cut CUTOFF     Filter cutoff for metal-ligation energy. (default =
                        10.0)
  -emodel_cut CUTOFF    Filter cutoff for Emodel energy. (Not used by
                        default.)
  -gscore_cut CUTOFF    Filter cutoff for GlideScore. (default = 100.0)
  -dscore_cut CUTOFF    Filter cutoff for docking score. (default = 100.0)
  -nogscore_cut         Don't use GlideScore filter.
  -nodscore_cut         Don't use docking score filter.
  -nofilter             Don't use _any_ filter cutoffs.
