.SH NAME
diameterc \- diameterc [<options>] <file>
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The diameterc utility is used to transform diameter \fBdictionary files\fR\& into Erlang source\&. The resulting source implements the interface diameter requires to encode and decode the dictionary\&'s messages and AVP\&'s\&.

diameterc [<options>] <file>:
Transforms a single dictionary file\&. Valid options are as follows\&.
.RS 2
.TP 2
.B
-o <dir>:
Specifies the directory into which the generated source should be written\&. Defaults to the current working directory\&.
.TP 2
.B
-i <dir>:
Specifies a directory to add to the code path\&. Use to point at beam files corresponding to dictionaries inherited by the one being compiled using \fI@inherits\fR\& or \fI--inherits\fR\&\&. Inheritance is a beam dependency, not an erl/hrl dependency\&.
.RS 2
.LP
Multiple \fI-i\fR\& options can be specified\&.

-E:
Supresses erl generation\&.
.TP 2

-H:
Supresses hrl generation\&.
.TP 2
.B
--name <name>:
Set \fI@name\fR\& in the dictionary file\&. Overrides any setting in the file itself\&.
.TP 2
.B
--prefix <prefix>:
Set \fI@prefix\fR\& in the dictionary file\&. Overrides any setting in the file itself\&.
.TP 2
.B
--inherits <dict>:
Append an \fI@inherits\fR\& to the dictionary file\&. Specifying \fI\&'-\&'\fR\& as the dictionary has the effect of clearing any previous inherits, effectively ignoring previous inherits\&.
.RS 2

Multiple \fI--inherits\fR\& options can be specified\&.
