okay bestie, so this is a General Commands Manual page for cif_compare_dics — yes the whole name is doing the most, we love that for it. Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ 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 🦋

So like, the whole vibe is this: it checks a pair of DDL1/DDLm dictionaries for compatibility breaking differences. It's giving detective energy fr fr 🔍.

What gets reported:

• Discrepancies between corresponding enumeration sets
• Discrepancies between default values
• Discrepancies between permitted ranges
• Data items that are unique to one of the dictionaries

No cap, that's the entire personality. 💅

👑 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).
