  -g                    use global cutoff parameter
  -r, --random          randomize the starting potential
  -i TYPE, --type TYPE  interaction type, e.g. pair, eam, adp, ...
  -l, --list            list options which are available
  -cp                   enable chemical potentials (only for pair)
  -f [FUNCTIONS [FUNCTIONS ...]]
                        name of potential functions, either name or i*name,
                        where i=1,2,3,...
