NAME

       edirutil - synthesize NCBI ENTREZ_DIRECT XML (DEPRECATED)

SYNOPSIS

       edirutil [-db name] [-web webenv] [-key N] [-count N] [-step N] [-silent] [-verbose] [-debug]

DESCRIPTION

       Note: edirutil will not appear in future releases of NCBI Entrez Direct.  Instead, please supply explicit
       -web settings to individual commands.

       edirutil  synthesizes  ENTREZ_DIRECT XML records, which several edirect commands read, write, or both, to
       allow for server-side transformation or filtering of results prior to presenting them.  edirutil makes it
       possible to bypass one or more edirect pipeline stages on the basis of  state  observed  in  browsers  or
       other tools that don't natively produce ENTREZ_DIRECT XML.
