NAME

       yaz-marcdump - MARC record dump utility

SYNOPSIS

       yaz-marcdump [-i format] [-o format] [-f from] [-t to] [-l spec] [-c cfile] [-s prefix] [-C size] [-n] [-p] [-v] [-V] [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       yaz-marcdump reads MARC records from one or more files. It parses each record and supports output in line-format, ISO2709, MARCXML,
       MarcXchange as well as Hex output.

       This utility parses records ISO2709(raw MARC) as well as XML if that is structured as MARCXML/MarcXchange.

	   Note
	   As of YAZ 2.1.18, OAI-MARC is no longer supported. OAI-MARC is deprecated. Use MARCXML instead.

       By default, each record is written to standard output in a line format with newline for each field, $x for each subfield x. The output
       format may be changed with option -o,

       yaz-marcdump can also be requested to perform character set conversion of each record.

OPTIONS

       -i format
	   Specifies input format. Must be one of marcxml, marc (ISO2709), marcxchange (ISO25577), line (line mode MARC), or turbomarc (Turbo
	   MARC).

       -o format
	   Specifies output format. Must be one of marcxml, marc (ISO2709), marcxchange (ISO25577), line (line mode MARC), or turbomarc (Turbo
	   MARC).

       -f from
	   Specify the character set from of the input MARC record. Should be used in conjunction with option -t. Refer to the yaz-iconv man page
	   for supported character sets.

       -t to
	   Specify the character set of of the output. Should be used in conjunction with option -f. Refer to the yaz-iconv man page for supported
	   character sets.

       -l leaderspec
	   Specify a simple modification string for MARC leader. The leaderspec is a list of pos=value pairs, where pos is an integer offset (0 -
	   23) for leader. Value is either a quoted string or an integer (character value in decimal). Pairs are comma separated. For example, to
	   set leader at offset 9 to a, use 9='a'.

       -s prefix
	   Writes a chunk of records to a separate file with prefix given, i.e. splits a record batch into files with only at most "chunk" ISO2709
	   record per file. By default chunk is 1 (one record per file). See option -C.

       -C chunksize
	   Specifies chunk size; to be used conjunction with option -s.

       -p
	   Makes yaz-marcdump prints record number and input file offset of each record read.

       -n
	   MARC output is omitted so that MARC input is only checkecd.

       -v
	   Writes more information about the parsing process. Useful if you have ill-formatted ISO2709 records as input.

       -V
	   Prints YAZ version.

EXAMPLES

       The following command converts MARC21/USMARC in MARC-8 encoding to MARC21/USMARC in UTF-8 encoding. Leader offset 9 is set to 'a'. Both
       input and output records are ISO2709 encoded.

	       yaz-marcdump -f MARC-8 -t UTF-8 -o marc -l 9=97 marc21.raw >marc21.utf8.raw

       The same records may be converted to MARCXML instead in UTF-8:

	       yaz-marcdump -f MARC-8 -t UTF-8 -o marcxml marc21.raw >marcxml.xml

       Turbo MARC is a compact XML notation with same semantics as MARCXML, but which allows for faster processing via XSLT. In order to generate
       Turbo MARC records encoded in UTF-8 from MARC21 (ISO), one could use:

	       yaz-marcdump -f MARC8 -t UTF8 -o turbomarc -i marc marc21.raw >out.xml
