## OPTIONS

\-d, --dictionaries 'cif\_core.dic,cif\_cod.dic'\
                   A list of CIF dictionary files that conform to the DDL1.\
                   Dictionaries in this list are only used to resolve\
                   category and data item references provided in main\
                   checked dictionary. List elements are separated\
                   by the comma (',') symbol. In case the file path\
                   of the included dictionary contains the comma symbol,\
                   the --add-dictionary option should be used.

\-D, --add-dictionary 'additional DDL1 dictionary.dic'\
                   Add an additional DDL1 dictionary to the list.

                   descriptions of other data items are defined in the\
                   dictionary. This check use ad hoc code to recognise\
                   data names and thus might produce false-negatives.

                   Do not check if the data names referenced in the\
                   free-text descriptions of other data items are defined\
                   in the dictionary (default).

\--help, --usage\
