31 <command>yaz-marcdump</command> reads MARC records from one or
33 It parses each record and supports output in line-format,
34 ISO2709, MARCXML, MarcXchange as well as Hex output.
37 This utility parses records ISO2709(raw MARC) as well as XML
38 if that is structured as MARCXML/MarcXchange.
42 As of YAZ 2.1.18, OAI-MARC is no longer supported.
43 OAI-MARC is deprecated. Use MARCXML instead.
47 By default, each record is written to standard output in a line
48 format with newline for each field, $x for each subfield x.
49 The output format may be changed with options <literal>-X</literal>,
50 <literal>-e</literal>, <literal>-I</literal>.
53 <command>yaz-marcdump</command> can also be requested to perform
54 character set conversion of each record.
58 <refsect1><title>OPTIONS</title>
64 Reads MARC records in MARCXML/MarcXchange format. Without
65 this option, <command>yaz-marcdump</command> reads records
73 Writes MARC records in MARCXML.
74 This format is equivalent to YAZ_MARC_MARCXML in
75 <filename>yaz/marcdisp.h</filename>.
82 Writes MARC records in MarcXchange format.
83 This format is equivalent to YAZ_MARC_XCHANGE in
84 <filename>yaz/marcdisp.h</filename>.
91 Writes MARC records in ISO2709 format.
92 This format is equivalent to YAZ_MARC_ISO2709 in
93 <filename>yaz/marcdisp.h</filename>.
98 <term>-f<replaceable>from</replaceable>]</term>
100 Specify the character set <replaceable>from</replaceable>
101 of the input MARC record.
102 Should be used in conjunction with option <literal>-t</literal>.
107 <term>-t<replaceable>to</replaceable>]</term>
109 Specify the character set <replaceable>of</replaceable>
111 Should be used in conjunction with option <literal>-f</literal>.
118 Writes more information about the parsing process.
119 Useful if you have ill-formatted ISO2709 records as input.
126 <refsect1><title>EXAMPLES</title>
128 The following command converts MARC21/USMARC in MARC-8 encoding to
129 MARC21/USMARC in UTF-8 encoding. (Both input and output is in ISO2709).
131 yaz-marcdump -f MARC-8 -t UTF-8 -I marc21.raw >marc21.utf8.raw
135 The same records may be converted to MARCXML instead in UTF-8:
137 yaz-marcdump -f MARC-8 -t UTF-8 -X marc21.raw >marcxml.xml
