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.
