stream-pubmed1

Usage

Overview

fetch-pubmed reads a list of record IDs from standard input and prints to standard output the corresponding portions of a local NCBI PubMed archive produced by archive-pubmed(1). Unlike fetch-pubmed(1), it leaves the contents compressed (and as such does not support any cleanup along the way).

Options

[-path] dir

Place the local archive in dir.

-asn

Stream ASN.1.

-xml

Stream XML (default).

Environment

EDIRECT_PUBMED_MASTER

Local archive directory to use in the absence of -path. Expected to hold an absolute path; mandatory when not supplying a path on the command line.
