| entrez_info {rentrez} | R Documentation |
Gather information about EUtils generally, or a given Eutils database.
Note: The most common uses-cases for the einfo util are finding the list of
search fields available for a given database or the other NCBI databases to
which records in a given database might be linked. Both these use cases
are implemented in higher-level functions that return just this information
(entrez_db_searchable and entrez_db_links respectively).
Consequently most users will not have a reason to use this function (though
it is exported by rentrez for the sake of completeness.
