Exporter for MARC records

## NAME

Catmandu::Exporter::MARC - Exporter for MARC records

## 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

Catmandu::Exporter::MARC is a Catmandu::Exporter to serialize (write) MARC records to a file or the standard output.

## 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 export. The following MARC exporters are available:

  ```
    ISO: L<Catmandu::Exporter::MARC::ISO> (default) - a strict ISO 2709 exporter
    ALEPHSEQ: L<Catmandu::Exporter::MARC::ALEPHSEQ> - an exporter for Ex Libris Aleph sequential files
    Line: L<Catmandu::Exporter::MARC::Line> - an exporter for Index Data's MARC Line format
    MARCMaker: L<Catmandu::Exporter::MARC::MARCMaker> - an exporter for MARCMaker/MARCBreaker records
    MiJ: L<Catmandu::Exporter::MARC::MiJ> (MARC in JSON) - an export for the MARC-in-JSON format
    XML: L<Catmandu::Exporter::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.
