NAME

MARC::Spec::Subfield - subfield specification

SYNOPSIS

use MARC::Spec;

my $ms = MARC::Spec->new('245$a/0-2);
say ref $ms->subfields;                     # ARRAY
say ref $ms->subfields->[0];                # MARC::Spec::Subfield

DESCRIPTION

MARC::Spec::Subfield is the subfield specification of a MARC::Spec.

See MARCspec - A common MARC record path language for further details on the syntax.

METHODS

Some methods are inherited from MARC::Spec::Structure.

new

Create a new MARC::Spec::Subfield instance.

add_subspec(MARC::Spec::Subspec)

Appends a subspec to the array of the attribute subspecs. Parameter must be an instance of MARC::Spec::Subspec.

Inherited from MARC::Spec::Structure.

add_subspecs(ArrayRef[MARC::Spec::Subspec])

Appends subspecs to the array of the attribute subspecs. Parameter must be an ArrayRef and elements must be instances of MARC::Spec::Subspec.

Inherited from MARC::Spec::Structure.

to_string

Returns the spec as a string.

Inherited from MARC::Spec::Structure.

PREDICATES

Some predicates are inherited from MARC::Spec::Structure.

has_char_start

True if attribute char_start has an value and false otherwise.

has_char_end

True if attribute char_end has an value and false otherwise.

has_char_pos

True if attribute char_pos has an value and false otherwise.

has_subspecs

Returns true if attribute subspecs has an value and false otherwise.

ATTRIBUTES

Some attributes are inherited from MARC::Spec::Structure.

base

Obligatory. The base Subfield spec without subspecs.

code

Obligatory. The subfield code.

char_pos

If defined, the character position or range. Only present if MARC::Spec::Subfield::$char_start is defined.

char_start

If defined, the beginning character position of a character position or range.

char_end

If defined, the ending character position of a character position or range. Only present if MARC::Spec::Subfield::$char_start is defined.

char_length

The difference of MARC::Spec::Subfield::$char_start and MARC::Spec::Field::$char_end if both are numeric (or else -1). Only present if MARC::Spec::Subfield::$char_start is defined.

index_start

Obligatory. The beginning index of subfield repetitions. Maybe a positiv integer or the character '#'. Default is 0.

index_end

Obligatory. The ending index of subfield repetitions. Maybe a positiv integer or the character '#'. Default is '#'.

index_length

Obligatory. The difference of MARC::Spec::Subfield::$index_start and MARC::Spec::Subfield::$index_end if both are numeric. Default is -1.

subspecs

Optional an array of instances of MARC::Spec::Subspec, thus all subspecs in this array MUST be validated as a combination with the boolean 'AND', and/or an array of arrays (AoA) of instances of MARC::Spec::Subspec, thus all subspecs in this AoA must be validated as a combination with the boolean 'OR'.

See MARC::Spec::Subspec for description of attributes of MARC::Spec::Subspec.
