33 <refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
35 <command>yaz-marcdump</command> reads MARC records from one or
37 It parses each record and supports output in line-format,
38 ISO2709, MARCXML, MarcXchange as well as Hex output.
41 This utility parses records ISO2709(raw MARC) as well as XML
42 if that is structured as MARCXML/MarcXchange.
46 As of YAZ 2.1.18, OAI-MARC is no longer supported.
47 OAI-MARC is deprecated. Use MARCXML instead.
51 By default, each record is written to standard output in a line
52 format with newline for each field, $x for each subfield x.
53 The output format may be changed with options <literal>-X</literal>,
54 <literal>-e</literal>, <literal>-I</literal>.
57 <command>yaz-marcdump</command> can also be requested to perform
58 character set conversion of each record.
62 <refsect1><title>OPTIONS</title>
68 Reads MARC records in MARCXML/MarcXchange format. Without
69 this option, <command>yaz-marcdump</command> reads records
77 Writes MARC records in MARCXML.
78 This format is equivalent to YAZ_MARC_MARCXML in
79 <filename>yaz/marcdisp.h</filename>.
86 Writes MARC records in MarcXchange format.
87 This format is equivalent to YAZ_MARC_XCHANGE in
88 <filename>yaz/marcdisp.h</filename>.
95 Writes MARC records in ISO2709 format.
96 This format is equivalent to YAZ_MARC_ISO2709 in
97 <filename>yaz/marcdisp.h</filename>.
102 <term>-f <replaceable>from</replaceable></term>
104 Specify the character set <replaceable>from</replaceable>
105 of the input MARC record.
106 Should be used in conjunction with option <literal>-t</literal>.
111 <term>-t <replaceable>to</replaceable></term>
113 Specify the character set <replaceable>of</replaceable>
115 Should be used in conjunction with option <literal>-f</literal>.
120 <term>-l <replaceable>leaderspec</replaceable></term>
122 Specify a simple modification string for MARC leader. The
123 <replaceable>leaderspec</replaceable> is a list of pos=value
124 pairs, where pos is an integer offset (0 - 23) for leader. Value
125 is either a quoted string or an integer (character value in decimal).
126 Pairs are comma separated. For example, to set leader at offset 9
127 to a, use <literal>9=a</literal>.
134 Writes more information about the parsing process.
135 Useful if you have ill-formatted ISO2709 records as input.
142 <refsect1><title>EXAMPLES</title>
144 The following command converts MARC21/USMARC in MARC-8 encoding to
145 MARC21/USMARC in UTF-8 encoding. Leader offset 9 is set to 'a'.
146 Both input and output records are ISO2709 encoded.
148 yaz-marcdump -f MARC-8 -t UTF-8 -I -l 9=97 marc21.raw >marc21.utf8.raw
152 The same records may be converted to MARCXML instead in UTF-8:
154 yaz-marcdump -f MARC-8 -t UTF-8 -X marc21.raw >marcxml.xml
