   get_ids
        Title    : get_ids
        Usage    : my @ids = $linkset->get_ids
        Function : returns list of retrieved IDs
        Returns  : array of IDs
        Args     : none

                   neighbor_history      linked IDs for database in get_database

   get_database
        Title    : get_database
        Usage    : my $db = $info->get_database;
        Function : returns single database name (eutil-compatible).  This is the
                   queried database. For elinks (which have 'db' and 'dbfrom')
                   this is equivalent to db/dbto (use get_dbfrom() to for the latter).
                   Note that this only returns the first db; in some cases this may
                   not be what you want (when multiple dbs are queried, for instance)
        Returns  : string
        Args     : none
        Notes    : with all elink cmd arguments

        Function : retrieve databases referred to for this linkset
                   these may be present as a single database or embedded in
        Returns  : array of strings
        Args     : none

   get_dbs(aliasforget_databases)get_dbfrom
        Title    : get_dbfrom
        Usage    : my $string = $linkset->get_dbfrom;
        Function : retrieve originating database for this linkset
        Returns  : string
        Args     : none

   get_link_names
        Title    : get_link_names
        Usage    : my $string = $linkset->get_link_names;
        Function : retrieve eutil-compatible link names
        Returns  : array of strings
        Args     : none
        Notes    : Each LinkSet can hold multiple LinkInfo objects (each containing
                   a link name). Also, some LinkSets define a single link name. This
                   returns an array with all unique linknames globbed both sources, if
                   present and defined

   get_link_name
        Title    : get_link_name
        Usage    : my $string = $linkset->get_link_name;
        Function : retrieve eutil-compatible link name
        Returns  : single link name

   get_submitted_ids
        Title    : get_submitted_ids
        Usage    : my $string = $linkset->get_submitted_ids;
        Function : retrieve original ID list
        Returns  : string
        Args     : none

   has_scores
        Title    : has_scores
        Usage    : if (my $linkset->has_scores) {...}
        Function : returns TRUE if score data is present
        Returns  : Boolean
        Args     : none

   get_scores
        Title    : get_scores
        Usage    : %scores = $linkset->get_scores;
        Function : returns flattened list or hash ref containing ID => score pairs
        Returns  : hash or hash ref (based on list or scalar context)
        Args     : none

   get_score_by_id
        Title    : get_score_by_id
        Usage    : $score = $linkset->get_score_by_id($id);
        Function : returns the score for a particular primary ID
        Returns  : integer
        Args     : [REQUIRED] Primary ID for the score lookup

   has_linkout
        Title    : has_linkout
        Usage    : if ($linkset->has_linkout) {...}

        Returns  : boolean
        Args     : none
        Notes    : this checks cmd=lcheck (boolean for a linkout) and also backchecks
                   cmd=acheck for databases with name 'LinkOut'

   has_neighbor
        Title    : has_neighbor
        Usage    : if ($linkset->has_neighbor) {...}
        Function : returns TRUE if the single ID present in this linkset has a neighbor
                   in the same database
        Returns  : boolean
        Args     : none
        Notes    : this checks cmd=ncheck (boolean for a neighbor in same database); no
                   other checks performed at this time

   next_UrlLink
        Title    : next_UrlLink

   Support
       Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list: bioperl-l@bioperl.org rather than to
       the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem
       and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples
       if at all possible.

   Reportingbugs
       Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track of the bugs and their resolution.
       Bug reports can be submitted via the web:
