<description>

<p>
The diameterc utility is used to compile diameter
<seealso marker="diameter_dict">dictionary files</seealso>
into Erlang source.
The resulting source implements the interface diameter requires
to encode and decode the dictionary's messages and AVP's.</p>

Defaults to the current working directory.</p>
</item>

<tag><![CDATA[-i <dir>]]></tag>
<item>
<p>
Specifies a directory to add to the code path.
Use to point at beam files compiled from inherited dictionaries,
<c>@inherits</c> in a dictionary file creating a beam dependency, not
an erl/hrl dependency.</p>

<p>
Multiple <c>-i</c> options can be specified.</p>
</item>

<tag><![CDATA[-E]]></tag>
<tag><![CDATA[-H]]></tag>
<item>
