Class Leader

  org.marc4j.marc.Leader

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class Leader

extends Object

implements Serializable

Leader defines behaviour for the record label (record position 00-23).

The leader is a fixed field that occurs at the beginning of a MARC record and provides information for the processing of the record. The structure of the leader according to the MARC standard is as follows:

 RECORD_LENGTH RECORD_STATUS TYPE_OF_RECORD IMPLEMENTATION-DEFINED
 00-04         05            06             07-08
   CHARACTER_CODING_SCHEME  INDICATOR_COUNT SUBFIELD_CODE_LENGTH
   09                       10              11
     BASE_ADDRESS_OF_DATA  IMPLEMENTATION-DEFINED  ENTRY_MAP
     12-16                 17-19                   20-23
 

This structure is returned by the marshal() method.
