diameter_make Diameter dictionary compilation.

The function &codec; is used to compile a diameter &dictionary; into Erlang source. The resulting source implements the interface diameter required to encode and decode the dictionary's messages and AVP's.

The utility &man_compile; provides an alternate compilation interface.

codec(Path::string(), [Opt]) -> ok | {error, Reason} Compile a dictionary file into Erlang source.

Compile a single dictionary file to Erlang source. Opt can have the following types.

{include, Dir::string()}

Prepend the specified directory to the code path. Use to point at beam files compiled from inherited dictionaries, &dict_inherits; in a dictionary file creating a beam dependency, not an erl/hrl dependency.

Multiple include options can be specified.

{outdir, Dir::string()}

Write generated source to the specified directory. Defaults to the current working directory.

{name|prefix, string()}

Set &dict_name; or &dict_prefix; to the specified string. Overrides any setting in the file itself.

{inherits, Mod::string()}

Append &dict_inherits; of the specified module. Specifying "-" has the effect of discarding clearing any previous inherits, both in the dictionary file and on the options list.

Multiple inherits options can be specified.

BUGS

All options are string-valued. In particular, it is not currently possible to an &dict_inherits; module as an atom() or a path as a &filename;
