[erlang-questions] Extract DIAMETER data types

[Ulf Wiger]

Ahh, the memories…

I played around a little bit, but no guarantees:

-  2972-910, right? I downloaded the doc and opened in OpenOffice Writer
- Delete the two first rows and the last row of the table (the ones that span the whole table)
- Delete the columns "Section defined", "May", "should not", "must not", "may encr."
- Select the AVP type data and chose Table->Convert->Table to text (tab-delimited)
- Copy-paste the result into emacs
- Search-replace all "M, V" with "MV"
- There is one "M. V", fix that one too
- Remove the space in the name "Requested-UTRAN- GERAN-Authentication-Info"
- Fix the type type for Alert-Reason ("Enumerate" -> "Enumerated")

Then I just threw in a fake @vendor line to make diameter_dict_util:parse/2 happy.

The attached file at least makes it through the parser this way. Considering how many errors these specs contain, I can't vouch for the correctness beyond that. ;)

BR,
Ulf W (in SF, can't sleep)
