✨ EXCLUDE-UID-LISTS(1) ✨

okay so this is the manual page for exclude-uid-lists, and it lives in the NCBI Entrez Direct User's Manual. yes bestie, that Entrez Direct. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

exclude-uid-lists — compute the set difference of two numerical lists 🦋

like, it takes two lists of numbers and tells you what's left over. the math girlies know. ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

exclude-uid-lists full-list exclusions

that's it. two arguments, no flags, no drama. iconic behavior honestly. 😌

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

exclude-uid-lists computes the set difference — meaning it takes the exclusions out of the full-list — of the number lists you hand it. 🧚

both lists are expected to contain one number per line, so keep your formatting cute and clean, no cap.

and then the result? it gets sorted numerically. not alphabetically, bestie, numerically. because 10 coming before 9 would be a whole crime. 🔥

vibe check: this one is genuinely simple. two lists in, the difference out, sorted numerically. that's the whole plot. 🫶
