NAME

       edirutil - synthesize NCBI ENTREZ_DIRECT XML (edirect pipeline state)

SYNOPSIS

       edirutil  [-db name]  [-web webenv]  [-key N]  [-count N]  [-step N]  [-silent] [-verbose]
       [-debug]

DESCRIPTION

       edirutil synthesizes ENTREZ_DIRECT XML  records,  which  several  edirect  commands  read,
       write,  or  both, to allow for server-side transformation or filtering of results prior to
       presenting them.  edirutil makes it possible to bypass one or more edirect pipeline stages
       on  the  basis  of  state  observed in browsers or other tools that don't natively produce
       ENTREZ_DIRECT XML.
