NAME
     yaz-marcdump - MARC record dump utility

SYNOPSIS
     yaz-marcdump [-i _f_o_r_m_a_t] [-o _f_o_r_m_a_t] [-f _f_r_o_m] [-t _t_o]
                  [-l _s_p_e_c] [-c _c_f_i_l_e] [-s _p_r_e_f_i_x] [-C _s_i_z_e] [-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 _f_o_r_m_a_t
         Specifies input format. Must be one of marcxml, marc
         (ISO2709), marcxchange (ISO25577), line (line mode
         MARC).

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

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

     -l _l_e_a_d_e_r_s_p_e_c
         Specify a simple modification string for MARC leader.
         The _l_e_a_d_e_r_s_p_e_c 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 _p_r_e_f_i_x
         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 _c_h_u_n_k_s_i_z_e
         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
