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

NAME

       MARC::File::MicroLIF - MicroLIF-specific file handling

SYNOPSIS

	   use MARC::File::MicroLIF;

	   my $file = MARC::File::MicroLIF->in( $filename );

	   while ( my $marc = $file->next() ) {
	       # Do something
	   }
	   $file->close();
	   undef $file;

EXPORT

       None.

       The buffer must be large enough to handle any valid record because we don't check for cases like a CR/LF pair or an end-of-record/CR/LF
       trio being only partially in the buffer.

       The max valid record is the max MARC record size(99999) plus one or two characters per tag (CR, LF, or CR/LF).	It's hard to say what the
       max number of tags is, so here we use 6000.  (6000 tags can be squeezed into a MARC record only if every tag has only one subfield
       containing a maximum of one character, or if data from multiple tags overlaps in the MARC record body.  We're pretty safe.)

METHODS

   in()
       Opens a MicroLIF file for reading.

       Gets the next chunk of data.  If $want_line is true then you get the next chunk ending with any combination of 
 and 
 of any length.	If
       it is false or not passed then you get the next chunk ending with x60 followed by any combination of 
 and 
 of any length.

       All trailing 
 and 
 are stripped.

   header()
       If the MicroLIF file has a file header then the header is returned.  If the file has no header or the file has not yet been opened then
       "undef" is returned.

   decode()
       Decodes a MicroLIF record and returns a USMARC record.

       Can be called in one of three different ways:

	   $object->decode( $lif )
	   MARC::File::MicroLIF->decode( $lif )
	   MARC::File::MicroLIF::decode( $lif )
