examples:

marc2jsonl -i input.mrc -o output.jsonl -n test -t marc

transformes the marc data from input.mrc to line-delimited json and saves to the file output.jsonl

marc2jsonl < input.mrc | esbulk -index test -type marc

transforms the marc data from stdin and pipes it to esbulk (https://github.com/miku/esbulk) which indexes the data and uploads it to an ElasticSearch-Server

pv input.mrc | marc2jsonl > output.jsonl

watch the progress with pipeview (http://www.ivarch.com/programs/pv.shtml) and transform the marc data from input.mrc to the file output.jsonl
