                   h(T)  =  1, if a pair of atoms bonded at time T,
                          =  0, otherwise

                   H(T) = 1, if a pair of atoms continously bonded
between time 0 to time T,
                          = 0, otherwise

S_HB(t) probes the continuous existence of a hydrogen bond, while
C_HB(t) allows for
the reformation of a bond that is broken at some intermediate time. The former
is thus a strict definition of the hydrogen bond lifetime, while the
latter is more
permissive.

I feel in gromacs, g_hbond does the C_HB(t). But i am not very sure
about that. Anybody knows
please help me. Thank you.
This is correct. However, the S_HB definition is not very useful, see my paper J. Phys. Chem. B. 110 pp. 4393-4398 (2006) for an explanation. The uninterrupted life time is computed by g_hbond however. Check the screen output.

Dear gromacs users:
      I like to know whether gromacs will calculate S-type hydrogen
bond correlation function?
If it so how it can be done? Thank you.
What does that mean?
