[Description:]
This fix instructs LAMMPS to call the PLUMED library, which allows one
to perform various forms of trajectory analysis on the fly and to also
use methods such as umbrella sampling and metadynamics to enhance the
sampling of phase space.
This fix instructs LAMMPS to call the "PLUMED"_plumedhome library, which

This command is LAMMPS specific whereas most of the functionality

The command to call PLUMED above is reasonably self explanatory. Within
the input file for lammps the user is required to specify the input file
for PLUMED and a file on which to output the PLUMED log. The user must
specify both of these arguments every time PLUMED is to be used.
Furthermore, the fix plumed command should appear in the LAMMPS input
file after the relevant input paramters (e.g. the timestep) have been
set.
The command to make LAMMPS call PLUMED during a run requires two keyword

There can only be one plumed fix active at a time. Since the interface
communicates only the minimum amount of information and since the PLUMED
module itself can handle an arbitrary number of analysis and biasing
methods, this is not a limitation of functionality.
