NAME
en2ris - converts EndNote bibliographic data to the RIS format
SYNOPSIS
en2ris [-e logdest] [-f from-encoding] [-h] [-l loglevel] [-L logfile] [-o file] [-O file] [-q]
[-t to-encoding] [-y path]
DESCRIPTION
en2ris fixes the markup errors encountered in EndNote "RIS" output and writes RIS output to stdout.
OPTIONS
-e log-destination
log-destination can have the values 0, 1, or 2, or the equivalent strings stderr, syslog, or file,
respectively. This value specifies where the log information goes to. 0 (zero) means the messages
are sent to stderr. They are immediately available on the screen but they may interfere with command
output. 1 will send the output to the syslog facility. Keep in mind that syslog must be configured
to accept log messages from user programs, see the syslog(8) man page for further information.
Unix-like systems usually save these messages in /var/log/user.log. 2 will send the messages to a
custom log file which can be specified with the -L option.
-f from-encoding
Select the input character encoding. Supported encodings are platform-dependent and can usually be
found in iconv_open(3). If no encodings are specified, ISO-8859-1 aka Latin-1 is assumed.
-h
Displays help and usage screen, then exits.
-l log-level
Specify the priority up to which events are logged. This is either a number between 0 and 7 or one of
the strings emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, debug, respectively (see also Log level
definitions). -1 disables logging completely. A low log level like 0 means that only the most
critical messages are logged. A higher log level means that less critical events are logged as well.
7 will include debug messages. The latter can be verbose and abundant, so you want to avoid this log
level unless you need to track down problems.
-L log-file
Specify the full path to a log file that will receive the log messages. Typically this would be
/var/log/refdba.
-o file
Send output to file. If file exists, its contents will be overwritten.
-O file
Send output to file. If file exists, the output will be appended.
-q
Start without reading the configuration files. The client will use the compile-time defaults for all
values that you do not set with command-line switches.
-t to-encoding
Select the output character encoding. Supported encodings are platform-dependent and can usually be
found in iconv_open(3). If no encodings are specified, UTF-8 is assumed.
-y confdir
Specify the directory where the global configuration files are Note: By default, all RefDB
applications look for their configuration files in a directory that is specified during the configure
step when building the package. That is, you don't need the -y option unless you use precompiled
binaries in unusual locations, e.g. by relocating a rpm package.
CONFIGURATION
en2ris evaluates the file en2risrc to initialize itself.

├──────────┼──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────┤
│logdest │ 1 │ The destination of the log │

├──────────┼──────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────┤
│loglevel │ 6 │ The log level up to which │

DATA PROCESSING
en2ris fixes a couple of problems found in RIS data exported from EndNote. The main issues are the
incomplete date formats, the export of page ranges into a single "SP" tag line, and the export of
keywords as a list into a single "KW" tag line.
en2ris does not validate the input files. That is, the input files must stick to the rules of the data
sources, otherwise the conversion results are not predictable.
FILES
