NAME
Net::Z3950::FOLIO - Z39.50 server for FOLIO bibliographic data
SYNOPSIS
use Net::Z3950::FOLIO;
$service = new Net::Z3950::FOLIO('config');
$service->launch_server("someServer", @ARGV);
DESCRIPTION
The Net::Z3950::FOLIO module provides all the application logic of
a Z39.50 server that allows searching in and retrieval from the
inventory module of FOLIO. It is used by the z2folio program, and
there is probably no good reason to make any other program to use it.
The library has only two public entry points: the new() constructor
and the launch_server() method. The synopsis above shows how they
are used: a Net::Z3950::FOLIO object is created using new(), then
the launch_server() method is invoked on it to start the server.
(In fact, this synopsis is essentially the whole of the code of the
simple2zoom program. All the work happens inside the library.)
METHODS
new($configBase)
$s2z = new Net::Z3950::FOLIO('config');
Creates and returns a new Net::Z3950::FOLIO object, configured according to
the JSON file $configFile.json specified by the only argument. The format of
this file is described in Net::Z3950::FOLIO::Config.
launch_server($label, @ARGV)
$s2z->launch_server("someServer", @ARGV);
Launches the Net::Z3950::FOLIO server: this method never returns. The
$label string is used in logging, and the @ARGV vector of
command-line arguments is interpreted by the YAZ backend server as
described at
https://software.indexdata.com/yaz/doc/server.invocation.html
