If the provided cutoff is smaller, the provided value will be ignored
and the ghost cutoff is set to the neighbor cutoff. Specifying a
cutoff value of 0.0 will reset any previous value to the default.
If bonded interactions exist and equilibrium bond length information is
available, then also a heuristic based on that bond length (2.0x {r_eq}
for systems with dihedrals or improper, 1.5x {r_eq} without) plus
neighbor skin is applied if the communication cutoff is set to its
default value of 0.0. This avoids problems for systems without a pair
style or where the non-bonded cutoff is (much) shorter than the largest
bond lengths. A warning message is printed, if a specified
communication cutoff > 0.0 is overridden or the bond length heuristics
lead to a larger communication cutoff.
The {cutoff/multi} option is equivalent to {cutoff}, but applies to
communication mode {multi} instead. Since in this case the communication
