It's written at the beginning of Biblio.pm :
* 4 types of subs : MARC*, OLD*, NEW* and not(MARC,OLD,NEW)* :
- not(MARC,OLD,NEW) => comes from 1.2 koha. They are just a wrapper to
OLD* then MARC*
- NEW* => full MARC api => call MARC* then OLD*
- MARC* => the real MARC stuff. Deals ONLY WITH MARC-DB
- OLD* => the real non-MARC stuff. Deals ONLY WITH NON MARC-DB
all OLD* subs contains a copy/paste from the catalogue.pm in 1.2 (except
for the "OLD" that has been added)
all non(MARC,OLD,NEW) subs comes from 1.2
between MARC and OLD calls, I use a MARCkoha2marc or a MARCmarc2koha sub
that transforms a non-marc biblio into it's MARC form (or the opposite)
The koha2marc & marc2koha exists for biblios & items.
