dbtell displays on-screen information on a database with the specific ID. Optionally, the information may be written to an output file in plain text or HTML.

The output file (plain text format) is an excerpt of and (by default) in the same format as the EMBOSS data file db.dat. The format of the file is explained in comments at the top of that file. Optionally, the data can be tabulated.
If the -html qualifier is specified, then the output will be a web page suitable for viewing in any browser.
The EMBOSS database information file (db.dat) must be installed in the EMBOSS data directory and indexed. This is done automatically for typical installations.
