# diameterc Compile a diameter dictionary to Erlang source. ## Synopsis ``` diameterc [] ``` ## Description The diameterc utility is used to compile a diameter [dictionary file](diameter_dict.md) into Erlang source. The resulting source implements the interface diameter required to encode and decode the dictionary's messages and AVPs. The module `m:diameter_make` provides an alternate compilation interface. # USAGE Compile a single dictionary file to Erlang source. Valid options are as follows. - **\-i ** - 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 ** - Write generated source to the specified directory. Defaults to the current working directory. - **\-E** - Suppress `.erl` file generation. - **\-H** - Suppress `.hrl` file generation. - **\--name ** - Name the output module. - **\--prefix ** - Transform the input dictionary before compilation, setting [@name](diameter_dict.md#name) or [@prefix](diameter_dict.md#prefix) to the specified string. - **\--inherits ** - Transform the input dictionary before compilation, appending [@inherits](diameter_dict.md#inherits) of the specified string. Two forms of `--inherits` have special meaning: ```text --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. - **\--indirect-inherits** - Enables indirect inherits feature, see more [here](`diameter_make:codec/2`). # EXIT STATUS Returns 0 on success, non-zero on failure. # SEE ALSO `m:diameter_make`, [diameter_dict(4)](diameter_dict.md)
