-## `rips_persistence` ##
-This program computes the persistent homology with coefficient field *Z/pZ* of a Rips complex defined on a set of input points. The output diagram contains one bar per line, written with the convention:
-
-`p dim b d`
-
-where `dim` is the dimension of the homological feature, `b` and `d` are respectively the birth and death of the feature, and `p` is the characteristic of the field *Z/pZ* used for homology coefficients (`p = p1*...*pr` is the product of prime numbers *pi* such that the homology feature exists in homology with *Z/piZ* coefficients).
-
-**Usage**
-`rips_persistence [options] <OFF input file>`
-
-**Allowed options**
-
-* `-h [ --help ]` Produce help message
-* `-r [ --max-edge-length ]` (default = inf) Maximal length of an edge for the Rips complex construction.
-* `-d [ --cpx-dimension ]` (default = 1) Maximal dimension of the Rips complex we want to compute.
-* `-p [ --field-charac ]` (default = 11) Characteristic p of the coefficient field Z/pZ for computing homology.
-* `-m [ --min-persistence ]` (default = 0) Minimal lifetime of homology feature to be recorded. Enter a negative value to see zero length intervals.

-**Example 1 with Z/2Z coefficients**
-`rips_persistence ../../data/points/tore3D_1307.off -r 0.25 -m 0.5 -d 3 -p 2`
-
-outputs:
-```
-2 0 0 inf
-2 1 0.0983494 inf
-2 1 0.104347 inf
-2 2 0.138335 inf
-```
-
-**Example 2 with Z/3Z coefficients**
-
-rips_persistence ../../data/points/tore3D_1307.off -r 0.25 -m 0.5 -d 3 -p 3

-## `rips_distance_matrix_persistence` ##
-Same as `rips_persistence` but taking an distance matrix as input.
-
-**Example**
-`rips_distance_matrix_persistence data/distance_matrix/full_square_distance_matrix.csv -r 15 -d 3 -p 3 -m 0`
-
-outputs:
-```
-The complex contains 46 simplices
- and has dimension 3
