STREAM-PUBMED(1)

💖 STREAM-PUBMED(1) 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the NCBI Entrez Direct User's Manual and this is the page for stream-pubmed, and honestly? she's a whole mood. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

stream-pubmed — dump a local NCBI PubMed archive in compressed form 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

stream-pubmed [[-path] dir] [-asn|-xml]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea ☕ — fetch-pubmed reads a list of record IDs from standard input and prints to standard output the corresponding portions of a local NCBI PubMed archive produced by archive-pubmed(1).

but the way that stream-pubmed is different from fetch-pubmed(1)?? it leaves the contents compressed 💅 and as such does not support any cleanup along the way. no cleanup era, we simply don't do that here. periodt.

---

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

• [-path] dir — place the local archive in dir. that's it, that's the vibe. 📁
• -asn — stream ASN.1.
• -xml — stream XML. this is the default, bestie, so if you say nothing at all you're still getting XML. iconic. 👑

---

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

• EDIRECT_PUBMED_MASTER — the local archive directory to use in the absence of -path. it's expected to hold an absolute path, and it's mandatory when you're not supplying a path on the command line. no path, no archive, no stream. so set it, fr fr. 🫡
