NAME

z2folio - Z39.50 server for FOLIO bibliographic data

SYNOPSIS

z2folio [ -c configFile ] [ -- YAZ-options ] [ listener-address ... ]

DESCRIPTION

z2folio provides a Z39.50 server for bibliographic data in the FOLIO ILS. Because it relies on the Net::Z3950::SimpleServer modules for the server functionality, because this module is based on the YAZ toolkit, and because YAZ transparently handles all three standard IR protocols (ANSI/NISO Z39.50, SRU and SRW), it can function as a support all three of these protocols.

The following command-line options govern how it functions:

-c configFile

Specifies that the named configFile should be used to configure the functionality of the server: if this option is not specified, then the file config.json in the working directory is used. The format of the configuration file is described separately in Net::Z3950::FOLIO::Config, and a sample configuration file, config.json, is supplied in the etc directory of the distribution.

--

Indicates the end of z2folio-specific options. This is required if YAZ options are to be specified, so that z2folio doesn't try to interpret them itself.

YAZ-options

Command-line arguments subsequent to the -- option are interpreted by the YAZ backend server as described at https://software.indexdata.com/yaz/doc/server.invocation.html

These options provide the means to control many aspects of the gateway's functioning: for example, whether the server forks a new process for each client or runs a single process using select(); how (if at all) to interpret incoming SRU requests; whether and how to log protocol packets for debugging.

listener-address

One or more YAZ-style listener addresses may be specified, and the server will accept connections on those addresses: for example, @:9998, unix:/tmp/somesocket or ssl:myhost.com:210. If no explicit listener addresses are provided, the server listens on port 9999.

SEE ALSO

The Net::Z3950::FOLIO module provides all the functionality for this program.
Net::Z3950::FOLIO::Config describes the configuration-file format.
The Net::Z3950::SimpleServer handles the Z39.50 service.
