NAME

       eaddress - check edirect's notion of your e-mail address (DEPRECATED)

SYNOPSIS

       eaddress

       edirect -address

DESCRIPTION

       Note: eaddress will not appear in future releases of NCBI Entrez Direct.  However, several
       other commands, such as einfo, take a -debug flag that will reveal an nquire command  line
       containing the email address they pass.

       eaddress  prints (to standard output) the e-mail address that other edirect(1) subcommands
       will send by default to have someone to notify in case a runaway  script  causes  problems
       with  an NCBI Entrez server.  If the EMAIL environment variable is set, edirect will honor
       it.  Otherwise, it will combine a username from the USER environment variable or  reported
       by  whoami(1) with a hostname from /etc/mailname or uname(2), attempting to obtain a fully
       qualified form if necessary.
