SYNOPSIS

       epost  (edirect -post)  [-help]  [-db name]  [-id ID(s)]  [-format fmt]  [-input filename]
       [-label name]

DESCRIPTION

       epost uploads a batch of record identifiers (textual accessions or numeric UIDs) to Entrez
       history  servers  for  processing  by  other edirect commands.  By default, it reads these
       identifiers from standard input.

OPTIONS

       -help  Print usage information.

       -db name
              Indicate that the identifiers are from the specified database.

       -id ID(s)
              Specify identifiers directly.

       -format fmt
              uid or acc(ession).

       -input filename
              Read from filename instead of  standard  input  (which  is  then  free  to  receive
              pipeline state from other edirect commands).

       -label name
              Alias for query step.
