DESCRIPTION

       dbshowdat is a command line program from EMBOSS (“the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite”).
       It is part of the "Information" command group(s).

OPTIONS

   Input section
       -datatype string
           This is the name of a retrievable datatype from the catalogue of public databases in the EMBOSS data
           file DRCAT.dat. The names are terms from the 'data' branch of the EDAM ontology,
           http://edamontology.sourceforge.net/. If you are unsure of the available retrievable datatypes for a
           given database, use dbtellquery. If you have a datatype name but are not sure its valid, use
           isdbdata.

   Required section
   Additional section
   Advanced section
       -database string
           This is the name of a database from the catalogue of public databases in the EMBOSS data file
           DRCAT.dat. If you are unsure of the available databases use dbfind. If you have a database name but
           are not sure its valid, use isdbname.

       -identifier string
           This is a data identifier (e.g. a sequence accession number) that is used to specify the data (of
           type 'datatype') to retrieve. If you're unsure of the data identifier(s) that are used for a given
           query (database/datatype) use dbtellquery. The types of data identifier are listed under the 'Data
           identifier' branch of the EDAM ontology (http://edamontology.sourceforge.net/). For example values,
           see the catalogue of public databases in the EMBOSS data file DRCAT.dat. If you have a data
           identifier but are unsure of its type, use idtell.

   Output section
       -outfile outfile
           Default value: stdout

   Html section
       -html boolean
           If you are sending the output to a file, this will format it for displaying as a table in a WWW
           document. Default value: N
