.SH NAME
cif_ddlm_dic_check \- check DDLm dictionaries against a set of best practice rules.

.SH SYNOPSIS
cif_ddlm_dic_check \-\-options cif_core.dic

.SH DESCRIPTION
Check DDLm dictionaries against a set of best practice rules.

.SH OPTIONS
\-\-report\-redundant\-range\-limits
                  Report explicit range limits that match implicit
                  range limits imposed by the content type.

\-\-no\-report\-redundant\-range\-limits
                  Do not report explicit range limits that match implicit
                  range limits imposed by the content type (default).


\-\-check\-references\-in\-descriptions
                  Check if the data names referenced in the free\-text
                  descriptions of other data items are defined in the
                  dictionary. This check use ad hoc code to recognise
                  data names and thus might produce false\-negatives.

\-\-no\-check\-references\-in\-descriptions
                  Do not check if the data names referenced in the
                  free\-text descriptions of other data items are defined
                  in the dictionary (default).


\-I, \-\-add\-ddlm\-import\-path './ddlm/cod/'
                  Prepend an additional directory to the dictionary
                  import path. The dictionary import path specifies
                  a list of directories in which to look for files
                  that are imported by DDLm\-compliant CIF dictionaries.
                  Directories provided using this option are assigned
                  the highest priority and are searched prior to
                  the directories listed in the COD_TOOLS_DDLM_IMPORT_PATH
                  environment variable or the default import path
                  (directory of the importing dictionary).

\-\-clear\-ddlm\-import\-path
                  Remove all directories from the dictionary import path
                  that were added using the \-\-add\-ddlm\-import\-path option.
                  Neither COD_TOOLS_DDLM_IMPORT_PATH environment variable
                  nor the default import path is affected by this option.


\-\-help, \-\-usage
                  Output a short usage message (this message) and exit.

\-\-version
                  Output version information and exit.

.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
COD_TOOLS_DDLM_IMPORT_PATH
                  A list of directories in which to look for the
                  DDLm\-compliant CIF dictionaries that are imported
                  by other DDLm\-compliant CIF dictionaries. List
                  elements are separated by the colon symbol (':').
                  Directories listed in COD_TOOLS_DDLM_IMPORT_PATH
                  have a lower priority than those provided using
                  the command line option (\-\-add\-dictionary\-import\-path),
                  but higher than the default import path directory
                  (directory of the importing dictionary).
