Quantum ESPRESSO is a suite for first-principles electronic-structure calculations and materials modeling, whose source code is located on GitLab. I noticed the following script used by make in this project: <https://gitlab.com/QEF/q-e/-/blob/develop/install/install_utils>.
I'm not familiar with the customized function called by make, but based on the following gzip option to test compressed file integrity: $ gzip --help | grep integrity -t, --test test compressed file integrity I tried to modify the script to the following: ``` # Copyright (C) 2001-2016 Quantum ESPRESSO group # # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or # modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License # as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 # of the License.
