OPTIONS
Processing Flags -strict Remove HTML and MathML tags. -mixed Allow mixed content XML. Data Source -input filename Read XML from file instead of standard input.

Local Record Index -e2index [extras] Create Entrez index XML. extras (true or false; false by default) indicates whether to index extra fields. -e2invert archive Combined -e2index and -invert in archive. -join Collect subsets of inverted index files. -fuse Combine subsets of inverted index files. -merge directory field Combine inverted indices, dividing by term prefix. -promote directory field Create term lists and posting files. -path directory Path to postings directory. -query query Search on words or phrases in Boolean formulas. -exact query Strict search for article round-tripping. -title query Exact search limited to indexed title field. -count query Print terms and counts, merging wildcards. -counts query Expand wildcards; print individual term counts.
