diameterc [<options>] <file>

Description

The diameterc utility is used to compile a diameter dictionary file into Erlang source. The resulting source implements the interface diameter required to encode and decode the dictionary's messages and AVPs.

The module diameter_make provides an alternate compilation interface.

USAGE

  • diameterc [<options>] <file> - Compile a single dictionary file to Erlang source. Valid options are as follows.

    • -i <dir> - Prepend the specified directory to the code path. Use to point at beam files compiled from inherited dictionaries, [@inherits](diameter_dict.md#inherits) in a dictionary file creating a beam dependency, not an erl/hrl dependency.

      Multiple -i options can be specified.

    • -o <dir> - Write generated source to the specified directory. Defaults to the current working directory.

    • -E

    • -H - Suppress erl and hrl generation, respectively.

    • --name <name>

    • --prefix <prefix> - Transform the input dictionary before compilation, setting [@name](diameter_dict.md#name) or [@prefix](diameter_dict.md#prefix) to the specified string.

    • --inherits <arg> - Transform the input dictionary before compilation, appending [@inherits](diameter_dict.md#inherits) of the specified string.

      Two forms of --inherits have special meaning:

      --inherits -
--inherits Prev/Mod

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

      Multiple --inherits options can be specified.

EXIT STATUS

Returns 0 on success, non-zero on failure.
