NAME

       index-pubmed - populate and index a local NCBI PubMed archive from scratch

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       index-pubmed  prepares  a  directory  to hold a local PubMed archive, then downloads a full database dump
       from NCBI's servers (along with MeSH data), organizes it into an rchive(1) trie, refreshes  and  collects
       the versioned records, 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.
