NAME

       cif_compare_dics  -  checks  a  pair  of DDL1/DDLm dictionaries for compatibility breaking
       differences.  Discrepancies  between  corresponding  enumeration  sets,  default   values,
       permitted ranges as well as data items unique to one of the dictionaries are reported.

SYNOPSIS

       cif_compare_dics --ddl1 cif_core_ddl1.dic --ddlm cif_core_ddlm.dic --options

DESCRIPTION

       Checks   a   pair  of  DDL1/DDLm  dictionaries  for  compatibility  breaking  differences.
       Discrepancies between corresponding enumeration sets, default values, permitted ranges  as
       well as data items unique to one of the dictionaries are reported.

OPTIONS

       -1, --ddl1
                         The name of the DDL1 conforming dictionary that should
                         be used in the comparison.

       -m, --ddlm
                         The name of the DDLm conforming dictionary that should
                         be used in the comparison.

       -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.

       --legacy-dic-type ddl1
                         The type of the dictionary that should treated as the
                         legacy one. Accepted values: 'ddl1' (default), 'ddlm'.

       --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).
