Overview
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.
