NAME

       cif_ddlm_dic_check - check DDLm dictionaries against a set of best practice rules.

SYNOPSIS

       cif_ddlm_dic_check --options cif_core.dic

DESCRIPTION

       Check DDLm dictionaries against a set of best practice rules.

OPTIONS

       --report-redundant-range-limits
                         Report explicit range limits that match implicit
                         range limits imposed by the content type.

       --no-report-redundant-range-limits
                         Do not report explicit range limits that match implicit
                         range limits imposed by the content type. Default.

       --check-references-in-descriptions
                         Check if the data names referenced in the free-text
                         descriptions and usage examples of data items and
                         categories are defined in the dictionary. This check
                         uses ad hoc code to recognise data names and therefore
                         might produce false-positive validation messages.

       --no-check-references-in-descriptions
                         Do not check if the data names referenced in the
                         free-text descriptions and usage examples of data
                         items and categories are defined in the dictionary.
                         Default.

       -I, --add-ddlm-import-path './ddlm/cod/'
                         Prepend an additional directory to the dictionary
                         import path. The dictionary import path specifies
                         a list of directories in which to look for files
                         that are imported by DDLm-compliant CIF dictionaries.
                         Directories provided using this option are assigned
                         the highest priority and are searched prior to
                         the directories listed in the COD_TOOLS_DDLM_IMPORT_PATH
                         environment variable or the default import path
                         (directory of the importing dictionary).

       --clear-ddlm-import-path
                         Remove all directories from the dictionary import path
                         that were added using the --add-ddlm-import-path option.
                         Neither COD_TOOLS_DDLM_IMPORT_PATH environment variable
                         nor the default import path is affected by this option.

       --help, --usage
                         Output a short usage message (this message) and exit.

       --version
                         Output version information and exit.

ENVIRONMENT

       COD_TOOLS_DDLM_IMPORT_PATH
                         A list of directories in which to look for the
                         DDLm-compliant CIF dictionaries that are imported
                         by other DDLm-compliant CIF dictionaries. List
                         elements are separated by the colon symbol (':').
                         Directories listed in COD_TOOLS_DDLM_IMPORT_PATH
                         have a lower priority than those provided using
                         the command line option (--add-dictionary-import-path),
                         but higher than the default import path directory
                         (directory of the importing dictionary).
