💖 BSMP2INFO(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the NCBI Entrez Direct User's Manual ✨ this one's a lil cutie, she's short and she does exactly one thing and she does it flawlessly 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

bsmp2info — convert NCBI BioSample docsum XML to BioSampleInfo XML 💅

like... she takes the one XML and gives you the other XML. glow-up behavior fr fr 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bsmp2info

no flags, no args, no drama. she just is. 👑

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the tea, bestie 🍓 — bsmp2info reads one or more NCBI BioSample XML documents from standard input and writes the corresponding BioSampleInfo XML to standard output.

one or more?? yes girl, MULTIPLE. she's not a one-doc kind of girl, she's got range 💜 feed her a whole stream of BioSample XML and she will hand you back BioSampleInfo XML, no cap.

literally that's it. no hidden lore, no surprise flags, no "oh btw you also need to—". she reads stdin, she writes stdout, she slays. periodt. 💅✨
