NAME

       index-bioc - populate and index a local NCBI BioConcepts table

SYNOPSIS

       index-bioc [[-path] dir [[-temp|-work|-working] dir]]

DESCRIPTION

       index-bioc prepares a directory to hold a local BioConcepts archive, then downloads a full
       dump from NCBI's servers, organizes it into an  rchive(1)  trie,  and  fully  indexes  the
       resulting archive.

OPTIONS

       [-path] dir
              Place the local archive in dir.

       [-temp|-work|-working] dir
              Place intermediate subtrees in dir.

ENVIRONMENT

       EDIRECT_PUBMED_MASTER
              Local  archive  directory  to  use  in  the  absence of -path.  Expected to hold an
              absolute path; mandatory when not supplying a path on the command line.

       EDIRECT_PUBMED_WORKING
              Directory to hold intermediate subtrees in  the  absence  of  -temp|-work|-working.
              Expected to hold an absolute path.  Defaults to the primary local archive directory
              when not set.
