Note: edirect might not appear in future releases of NCBI Entrez Direct. However, several individual commands (esearch through epost) live on as nquire-based shell scripts.
edirect (Entrez Direct) is a command-line utility for consulting NCBI's set of interconnected databases (publication, sequence, structure, gene, variation, expression, etc.) in a variety of fashions, most of which are documented individually in dedicated man pages. (The one exception is edirect -nquir, which roughly corresponds to nquire but is fully independent.)
Most subcommands accept the following options, in addition to command-specific options.
eaddress(1), eblast(1), ecitmatch(1), econtact(1), efetch(1), efilter(1), einfo(1), elink(1), enotify(1), entrez-phrase-search(1), epost(1), eproxy(1), esearch(1), espell(1), esummary(1), ftp-cp(1), ftp-ls(1), nquire(1), transmute(1), xtract(1).
