Entrez Direct (EDirect) is an advanced method for accessing NCBI's set
of interconnected databases (publication, sequence, structure, gene,
variation, expression, etc.) from a terminal window or script.
Functions take search terms from command-line arguments. Individual
operations are combined to build multi-step queries. Record retrieval
and formatting normally complete the process.
.
EDirect also provides an argument-driven function that simplifies the
extraction of data from document summaries or other results that are
returned in structured XML format. This can eliminate the need for
writing custom software to answer ad hoc questions. Queries can move
seamlessly between EDirect commands and UNIX utilities or scripts to
perform actions that cannot be accomplished entirely within Entrez.
