=head1 NAME
Net::Z3950::ZOOM - Perl extension for invoking the ZOOM-C API.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Net::Z3950::ZOOM;
$conn = Net::Z3950::ZOOM::connection_new($host, $port);
$errcode = Net::Z3950::ZOOM::connection_error($conn, $errmsg, $addinfo);
Net::Z3950::ZOOM::connection_option_set($conn, databaseName => "foo");
# etc.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module provides a simple thin-layer through to the ZOOM-C
functions in the YAZ toolkit for Z39.50 and SRW/U communication. You
should not be using this very nasty, low-level API. You should be
using the C<ZOOM> module instead, which implements a nice, Perlish API
on top of this module, conformant to the ZOOM Abstract API described at
To enforce the don't-use-this-module prohibition, I am not even going
to document it. If you really, really, really want to use it, then it
pretty much follows the API described in the ZOOM-C documentation at
The only additional (non-ZOOM-C) function provided by this module is
C<event_str()>, which takes as its argument an event code such as
C<Net::Z3950::ZOOM::EVENT_SEND_APDU>, and returns a corresponding
short string.

# Switch API variant depending on $type. This works because the
# get_string() and get_binary() functions have different return
# types, one of which is implemented as a NUL-terminated string and
# the other as a pointer-and-length structure.
#
# Some Z39.50 servers, when asked for an OPAC-format record in the
# case where no circulation information is available, will return a
# USMARC record rather than an OPAC record containing only a
# bibliographic part. This non-OPAC record is not recognised by the
# underlying record_get() code in ZOOM-C, which ends up returning a
# null pointer. To make life a little less painful when dealing with
# such servers until ZOOM-C is fixed, this code recognises the
# wrong-record-syntax case and returns the XML for the bibliographic
# part anyway.
