NAME

       epost - upload a batch of NCBI Entrez record identifiers

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.
