💖 THEME-ALIASES 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the NCBI Entrez Direct User's Manual, and this lil page is all about theme-aliases — a bash command file that sets up a whole squad of aliases so you don't have to type the same phrase-search nonsense over and over. it's giving convenience, it's giving slay ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

theme-aliases — establish bash aliases for some phrase-search commands

no cap, that's the whole job. it makes aliases. that's it. and honestly? iconic. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

.|source theme-aliases

okay so you source it, either with the dot . or with the word source, and boom — aliases unlocked. main character energy fr fr 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

theme-aliases is a bash command file, and when you run it, it establishes the following aliases for phrase-search's -convert and -lookup modes. yes, both modes. yes, a LOT of aliases. she's thorough. 👑

so first up, the -convert mode crew — these are the code↔name↔term↔tree shufflers:

  • ChemCodeToName
  • ChemCodeToTerm
  • ChemCodeToTree
  • ChemNameToCode
  • ChemTreeToCode
  • DiszCodeToName
  • DiszCodeToTerm
  • DiszCodeToTree
  • DiszNameToCode
  • DiszTreeToCode
  • GeneCodeToDesc
  • GeneCodeToName
  • GeneNameToCode
  • MeshCodeToName
  • MeshCodeToTerm
  • MeshCodeToTree
  • MeshNameToCode
  • MeshTreeToCode

and then the -lookup mode besties — these are the cross-walkers, going from one theme to another:

  • ChemToDisz
  • ChemToGene
  • DiszToChem
  • DiszToGene
  • GeneToChem
  • GeneToDisz
  • GeneToGene

(the last one is GeneToGene, which is so real of her. sometimes you just gotta be your own lookup. 💀)

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

  • EDIRECT_PUBMED_MASTER — the local archive directory to use. she expects this to hold an absolute path, so no relative-path shenanigans, bestie. give her the whole thing, from the root, no shortcuts. 🎀

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

go read those too, iykyk. they're the whole ecosystem and they ate. 🔥

this page is from NCBI, dated 2021-03-07 — like, the manual page itself, the whole thing. so yeah. that's the lore. 💜

mwah, go source that file and go off, bestie 🧚💖
