.TH CIF_COMPARE_DICS 1
.SH NAME
cif_compare_dics \- checks a pair of DDL1/DDLm dictionaries for compatibility breaking differences. Discrepancies between corresponding enumeration sets, default values, permitted ranges as well as data items unique to one of the dictionaries are reported.

.SH SYNOPSIS
cif_compare_dics \-\-ddl1 cif_core_ddl1.dic \-\-ddlm cif_core_ddlm.dic \-\-options

.SH DESCRIPTION
Checks a pair of DDL1/DDLm dictionaries for compatibility breaking
differences. Discrepancies between corresponding enumeration sets,
default values, permitted ranges as well as data items unique to
one of the dictionaries are reported.

.SH OPTIONS
\-1, \-\-ddl1
                  The name of the DDL1 conforming dictionary that should
                  be used in the comparison.

\-m, \-\-ddlm
                  The name of the DDLm conforming dictionary that should
                  be used in the comparison.


\-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.


\-\-legacy\-dic\-type ddl1
                  The type of the dictionary that should treated as the
                  legacy one. Accepted values: 'ddl1' (default), 'ddlm'.


\-\-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).
