Catman...::Line(3pm)

✨ Catmandu::Exporter::MARC::Line 💅

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for Catmandu::Exporter::MARC::Line (that's the Catman...::Line(3pm) girlie if you're squinting at the header) — a Perl module, and she's giving extremely specific niche exporter energy. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Catmandu::Exporter::MARC::Line — the exporter that takes your MARC records and turns them into Index Data's MARC Line format. no cap, that's literally her whole job. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's how you actually use her:

# From the command line
$ catmandu convert MARC to MARC --type Line < t/camel.mrc

# From Perl
use Catmandu;

my $importer = Catmandu->importer('MARC', file => "t/camel.mrc", type => 'ISO');
my $exporter = Catmandu->exporter('MARC', file => "camel.line", type => 'Line' );

$exporter->add($importer);
$exporter->commit;

so you can either hit her from the command line like a boss, or import her in Perl and do the add + commit combo. both iconic. 👑

🫶 CONFIGURATION 🫶

here's where you set the vibe. every option, no skipping, periodt:

• file — write the output to a local file, and you give her the path or a file handle. or, if you're feeling spicy: pass a scalar reference and she'll write to a string instead, or pass a code reference and she'll write to a callback function. versatile queen. ✨
• fh — write the output to an IO::Handle. if you don't specify one, Catmandu::Util::io shows up and creates the output handle for you from the file argument, or just uses STDOUT. she's got you either way. 💖
• fix — an ARRAY of one or more fixes or file scripts that get applied to the exported items. one fix? cute. forty fixes? she can handle it. 🌈
• encoding — the binmode of the output stream fh. defaults to ":utf8" so your unicode stays unbothered and thriving. 🦋

💅 METHODS 💅

for the full rundown of methods, go check out Catmandu::Exporter, Catmandu::Addable, Catmandu::Fixable, Catmandu::Counter, and Catmandu::Logger. they've got the whole list, she's not about to retype all of it, iykyk. 💀
