       Suite”). It is part of the "Utils:Misc" command group(s).

OPTIONS

   Input section
       -database string
           This is the name of a database from the catalogue of public databases in the EMBOSS
           data file DRCAT.dat. If you are unsure of the available databases use dbfind. If you
           have a database name but are not sure its valid, use isdbname.

       -datatype string
           This is the name of a retrievable datatype from the catalogue of public databases in
           the EMBOSS data file DRCAT.dat. The names are terms from the 'data' branch of the EDAM
           ontology, http://edamontology.sourceforge.net/. If you are unsure of the available
           retrievable datatypes for a given database, use dbtellquery. If you have a datatype
           name but are not sure its valid, use isdbdata.

       -identifier string
           This is a data identifier (e.g. a sequence accession number) that is used to specify
           the data (of type 'datatype') to retrieve. If you're unsure of the data identifier(s)
           that are used for a given query (database/datatype) use dbtellquery. The types of data
           identifier are listed under the 'Data identifier' branch of the EDAM ontology
           (http://edamontology.sourceforge.net/). For example values, see the catalogue of
           public databases in the EMBOSS data file DRCAT.dat. If you have a data identifier but
           are unsure of its type, use idtell.
