Use when smoke-testing an Entrez Direct installation with the bundled long-form example suite or the focused `-test` trace mode.
Large shell-based demonstration and smoke-test script for Entrez Direct. With no arguments it runs a long sequence of real EDirect examples and prints titled sections such as INFO HELP, FIELD EXAMPLE, and LINK EXAMPLE. It also has a special -test mode that enables tracing around one targeted pipeline.
test-edirect/home/vimalinx/miniforge3/envs/bio/bin/test-edirect-timer, -timed, -testesearch, efetch, elink, xtract, and related helpers all cooperate correctly-test path when you want tracing around one smaller pipeline# Run the full demonstration / smoke suite

# Add elapsed times between sections
test-edirect -timer
# Run the focused trace-enabled test path
test-edirect -test
test-edirect run when you want a broad installation smoke test.-timer if you care about rough section timings.-test when you want a much narrower traced pipeline instead of the whole suite.-h and --version are not help/version modes; locally both failed with Unrecognized option.EDirect 24.0, Linux - x86_64, then section headers like INFO HELP, FIELD EXAMPLE, and LINK EXAMPLE.-test exports EDIRECT_TRACE=true and runs a specific esearch | efilter | elink | xtract pipeline before exiting.
