Function

   Reads and writes (returns) flatfile entries

Description

   entret reads a sequence from a database or a file and writes the
   complete sequence entry to a text file.

   The difference between entret and such programs as seqret which also
   read entries from databases or files and write them to files, is that
   entret reads and writes the complete sequence entry together with the
   heading annotation (documentation) without attempting to reformat or
   interpret the data in any way. seqret on the other hand will read in
   the entry data, determine which bit of it is the sequence, which is
   the description line and which is the feature table and will then
   write the sequence, description and features out in the way prescribed
   by the sequence format which has been requested for output.

   entret therefore is very useful for looking at the annotation of
   sequences from databases, which seqret does not provide.

   The other main difference is that when it writes out the sequence
   entry to a file, the information is treated as text, not sequence, and
   so options that you would normally use to change the aspects of the
   sequence to be written will either not be recognised and will cause an
   error message to be written (e.g. '-osformat') or will be quietly
   ignored (e.g. '-sbegin', '-send').

   In previous versions of EMBOSS, entret didn't return the sequence from
   entries held in GCG indexed databases. This has now been fixed. entret
   will now return the complete sequence entries with the annotation of
   GCG indexed databases.
