<description>

<p>
The diameterc utility 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 AVPs.</p>

<p>
The module &man_make; provides an alternate compilation interface.</p>

<title>USAGE</title>

<taglist>

<tag><![CDATA[diameterc [<options>] <file>]]></tag>
<item>
<p>
Compile a single dictionary file to Erlang source.
Valid options are as follows.</p>

<taglist>
<tag><![CDATA[-i <dir>]]></tag>
<item>
<p>
Prepend the specified directory to the code path.
Use to point at beam files compiled from inherited dictionaries,
<c>&dict_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[-o <dir>]]></tag>
<item>
<p>
Write generated source to the specified directory.
Defaults to the current working directory.</p>
</item>

<tag><![CDATA[-E]]></tag>
<tag><![CDATA[-H]]></tag>
<item>
<p>
Suppress erl and hrl generation, respectively.</p>
</item>

<tag><![CDATA[--name <name>]]></tag>
<tag><![CDATA[--prefix <prefix>]]></tag>
<item>
<p>
Transform the input dictionary before compilation, setting
<c>&dict_name;</c> or <c>&dict_prefix;</c> to the specified
string.</p>
</item>

<tag><![CDATA[--inherits <arg>]]></tag>
<item>
<p>
Transform the input dictionary before compilation, appending
<c>&dict_inherits;</c> of the specified string.</p>

<p>
Two forms of <c>--inherits</c> have special meaning:</p>

<pre>
--inherits -
--inherits Prev/Mod
</pre>

<p>
The first has the effect of clearing any previous inherits, the second
of replacing a previous inherits of <c>Prev</c> to one of <c>Mod</c>.
This allows the semantics of the input dictionary to be changed without
modifying the file itself.</p>

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