elink (edirect -link) [-help] [-related] [-target dbname] [-name name] [-db name] [-id ID(s)] [-input filename] [-cmd command] [-holding provider] [-cited] [-cites] [-batch]
elink follows links between Entrez databases, either extending an existing edirect(1) pipeline or honoring explicit -db and -id (or -input) options.
It has two implementations: a shell implementation on top of nquire(1) and a historical Perl implementation that amounts to running edirect -link, enabled by setting the environment variable USE_NEW_EDIRECT to a false value as described in the ENVIRONMENT section. Some options are implementation-specific, as detailed below.
edirect(1), einfo(1), epost(1), nquire(1), protein-neighbors(1).
