-Application
-    expandDictionary
-
-Description
-    Read the dictionary provided as an argument, expand the macros etc. and
-    write the resulting dictionary to standard output.
-
-Usage
-    - expandDictionary inputDict [OPTION]
-
-    \param -list \n
-    Report the #include/#includeIfPresent to stdout only.
-
-Note
-    The \c -list option can be useful when determining which files
-    are actually included by a directory. It can also be used to
-    determine which files may need to be copied when transferring
-    simulation to another environment. The following code snippet
-    could be a useful basis for such cases:
-
-    \verbatim
-        for i in . 0 constant system
-        do
-            find $i -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec expandDictionary -list '{}' \;
-        done | sed -ne '/^"\//!{ s/^"//; s/"$//; p }' | sort | uniq
-    \endverbatim
