SYNOPSIS¶

  # Convert MARC to MARC
  $ catmandu convert MARC to MARC < /foo/bar.mrc > /foo/output.mrc

  # Add fixes
  $ catmandu convert MARC to MARC --fix myfixes.txt < /foo/bar.mrc > /foo/output.mrc

  # Convert on format to another format
  $ catmandu convert MARC --type ISO to MARC --type ALEPHSEQ < /foo/bar.mrc > /foo/bar.aleph

DESCRIPTION¶

CONFIGURATION¶

file

Write output to a local file given by its path or file handle. Alternatively a scalar reference can be passed to write to a string and a code reference can be used to write to a callback function.

fh

Write the output to an IO::Handle. If not specified, Catmandu::Util::io is used to create the output handle from the "file" argument or by using STDOUT.

fix

An ARRAY of one or more fixes or file scripts to be applied to exported items.

type

The MARC format to parse. The following MARC parsers are available:

  ISO: L<Catmandu::Importer::MARC::ISO> (default) - a strict ISO 2709 exporter
  ALEPHSEQ: L<Catmandu::Importer::MARC::ALEPHSEQ> - an exporter for Ex Libris Aleph sequential files
  MARCMaker: L<Catmandu::Importer::MARC::MARCMaker> - an exporter for MARCMaker/MARCBreaker records
  MiJ: L<Catmandu::Importer::MARC::MiJ> (MARC in JSON) - an export for the MARC-in-JSON format
  XML: L<Catmandu::Importer::MARC::XML> - an exporter for the MARC XML format
    

skip_errors

If set, then any errors when parsing MARC output will be skipped and ignored. Use the debug setting of catmandu to view all error messages:

  $ catmandu -D convert MARC to MARC --skip_errors 1 --fix myfixes.txt < /foo/bar.mrc
    

<other>

Every MARC importer can have its own options. Check the documentation of the specific importer.
