NAME

       bp_einfo - Query einfo to find all available databases or information about a specific database (field
       information or links to other NCBI databases).

VERSION

       version 1.76

SYNOPSIS

        bp_einfo [-d database] [-f Field Code] [-l Link Name] [-o outfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Command line options:

         -e/--email
               Valid email (required by NCBI policy)

         -d/--db/--database
               NCBI database to query
               (default = none, which shows available databases)

         -f/--field
               print out information about a specific field code
               (default = none)

         -l/--link
               print out information about a specific link name
               (default = none)

         -o/--out
               outfile
               (default = STDOUT)

         -h/--help
               show this documentation
         -a/api_key
               NCBI API key (recommended)

       As per NCBI's policy regarding eutils access, a valid email is required.  This is not enforced here (if
       one is provided you will get a standard warning), but don't be surprised if this doesn't work after June
       1, 2010 unless one is supplied.

       If -d is not specified, field and link arguments are ignored and all available databases are printed
       instead.

       If either link names or field codes (or both) are specified, nothing else is printed out (only the info
       requested).  You can specify as many fields and/or links as you want by using multiple -f/-l <ARG> on the
       command line.
