[erlang-questions] Can't run my command line Erlang program

[Andrew Pennebaker]

Is there a way to clear the "unknown functions" from dialyzer output? They
tend to distract from any warnings I'm trying to find.

$ make lint
erlc -Wall +debug_info ios7crypt.erl
dialyzer *.beam --build_plt --quiet
dialyzer *.beam
  Checking whether the PLT /Users/andrew/.dialyzer_plt is up-to-date... yes
  Proceeding with analysis...
Unknown functions:
  crypto:exor/2
  erlang:binary_to_list/1
  erlang:get_module_info/1
  erlang:get_module_info/2
  erlang:list_to_integer/2
  erlang:now/0
  getopt:parse/2
  getopt:usage/2
  init:get_plain_arguments/0
  init:stop/0
  io:format/1
  io:format/2
  io_lib:format/2
  proper:forall/2
  proper:quickcheck/1
  proper_types:int/0
  proper_types:list/1
  random:seed/3
  random:uniform/1
  string:concat/2
  string:substr/3

done (passed successfully)
