I have MARC::Record 2.0 installed [1]. According to the Changes file marcdump
now has a "--hex" switch [2]:
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Added --hex switch to marcdump, which dumps the record in
hexadecimal. The offsets are in decimal so that you can match
them up to values in the leader. The offset is reset to 0
when we're past the directory so that you can match up the data
with the offsets in the directory.
However.... I'm *not* finding that my marcdump actually has that hex switch:
/usr/local/scripts/xml/marc => marcdump --hex test.mrc
Unknown option: hex
Usage: marcdump [options] file(s)
Options:
--[no]print Print a MicroLIF-style dump of each record
--lif Input files are MicroLIF, not USMARC
--field=spec Specify a field spec to include. There may be many.
Examples:
--field=245 --field=1XX
--[no]quiet Print status messages
--[no]stats Print a statistical summary by file at the end
--version Print version information
--help Print this summary
I poked around the marcdump script and didn't find anything "hex":
my $opt_print = 1;
my $opt_quiet = 0;
my $opt_stats = 1;
my @opt_field = ();
my $opt_help = 0;
my $opt_lif = 0;
Any ideas/explanations? The hex dump functionality would sure be handy.
