Keywords for general information
IPRT
Print level, >1 gives more information, >2 give more information about integral evaluations.
NPRT
CHCK
Check the interface with several external packages.
CTHRD
Keyworks for processing excited-state information
METHOD
=1, ground state gradients; =2, excited-state calculations which will load TD-DFT output.
NFILES
Linked with istore value in TD-DFT input for loading output.
Keyword for geometric derivatives
GEOM: NORDER
GEOM enables geometric derivatives, NORDER=1, gradient and fo-NACMEs; =2, hessian (not implemented yet.)
Keywords for linear response calculations
LINE
Enable linear response
REDUCED
Solve the response equation in its reduced form [(A-B)(A+B)-w2](X+Y)=Rvo+Rov (not preferred).
POLA: AOPER, BOPER, BFREQ
Polarizabiity: <<A;B>>(wB), where the operators A and B can be dipole (DIP), quadruple (QUA), SOC (HSO), EFG.
Keywords for quadratic response calculations
QUAD
Enable quadratic response function (QRF) calculations
HYPE: AOPER, BOPER, BFREQ, COPER, CFREQ
Hyperpolarizability: <<A;B,C>>(wB,wC)
SINGLE:STATES
Single residue of QRF, STATES can be used to specify the number of states followed by a detailed specification via the triple (ifile,isym,istate).
DOUBLE: PAIRS
Double residue of QRF, PAIRS can be used to specify the number of pairs followed by a detailed specification via two triples (ifile,isym,istate,jfile,isym,jstate).
FNAC
First-order nonadiabatic couplings
NORESP
Neglect the response part of transition density matrix in DOUBLE and FNAC calculations (recommended)
Keywords for finite difference calculations
FDIF
Enable finite difference calculations
STEP
followed by a real number for the step size, default 0.001 [unit].
BOHR
The default unit is angstrom, to use bohr. This keyword must be specified.
IGNORE
Ignore the recomputation of excitation energies for check consistency.

To use finite-difference, a script fdiff.py should be used as
./fbdiff.py run.sh input.inp > log
After the calculation is done, an output file input.out will present in the current directory. The log file saves the information during the calculations.
Note: If FDIF is omitted, the analytic calculation will be carried out by simply using the run.sh script.
