       -emailaddress
              Send  the  given e-mail address to have someone to notify in case a runaway script causes problems
              with an NCBI Entrez server.

       -toolname
              Send the given client name.

       -http[s] get
              Force the use of GET rather than POST HTTPS requests.

              Specify a file of shortcut keywords and query strings or URL sections.

       -silent
              Suppress connection failure retry messages.

       -verbose
              Display the ENTREZ_DIRECT XML field values at each step.

       -baseURL
              Specify a particular server for quality assurance testing.

Note:edirect  might  not  appear in future releases of NCBI Entrez Direct.  However, several individual
       commands (esearch through epost) live on as nquire-based shell scripts.

       edirect (Entrez Direct) is a command-line utility for consulting NCBI's set of  interconnected  databases
       (publication,  sequence, structure, gene, variation, expression, etc.)  in a variety of fashions, most of
       which are documented individually in dedicated man pages.  (The one exception is  edirect-nquir,  which
       roughly corresponds to nquire but is fully independent.)

EDIRECT_DO_AUTO_ABBREV
              Accept (currently) unambiguous truncated option names, as in -verbo for -verbose.

       NCBI_API_KEY
              NCBI E-Utilities API key, allowing for a higher request rate at the cost of some anonymity.
