-insert

   if set, only insert when possible

-update

   if set, only updates (any biblio should have a matching record)

-all

   if set, do whatever is required

-k, -keepids=<FIELD>

   Field store ids in FIELD (usefull for authorities, where 001 contains the authid for Koha, that can contain a very valuable info for authorities coming from LOC or BNF. useless for biblios probably)

-match=<FIELD>

   FIELD matchindex,fieldtomatch matchpoint to use to deduplicate fieldtomatch can be either 001 to 999 or field and list of subfields as such 100abcde

-i,-isbn

-dedupbarcode

   If set, whenever a duplicate barcode is detected, it is removed and the attempt to add the record is retried, thereby giving the record a blank barcode. This is useful when something has set barcodes to be a biblio ID, or similar (usually other software.)

-framework

-custom=MODULE

   This parameter allows you to use a local module with a customize subroutine that is called for each MARC record. If no filename is passed, LocalChanges.pm is assumed to be in the migration_tools subdirectory. You may pass an absolute file name or a file name from the migration_tools directory.
