NAME

       epost - upload a batch of NCBI Entrez record identifiers

SYNOPSIS

       epost [-help] [-db name] [-id ID(s)] [-format fmt] [-input filename]

DESCRIPTION

       epost uploads a batch of record identifiers (textual accessions or numeric UIDs) to Entrez
       history servers for processing by other Entrez Direct  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 Entrez Direct commands).
