=head1 NAME
getSemanticRelation.pl - This program returns a concepts semantic relation(s)
between two semantic types
=head1 SYNOPSIS
This program takes two semantic types in the abbreviation form and returns
their semantic relation.
=head1 USAGE
Usage: getSemanticRelation.pl [OPTIONS] [ST1] [ST2]
=head1 INPUT
=head2 Required Arguments:
=head3 [ST1] [ST2]
The semantic types in their abbreviation form. For example, the
semantic type of ahnd is Body Part, Organ, or Organ Component. Its
abbreviation form (which is more commonly used - at least by us -
is pboc <- this is the form that you should entir.
=head2 Optional Arguments:
=head3 --infile FILE
A file containing a list of concepts or terms. The format requires
two semantic types per line. For example:
st1<>st2
st3<>st4
...
=head3 --debug
Sets the debug flag for testing
=head3 --username STRING
Username is required to access the umls database on MySql
unless it was specified in the my.cnf file at installation
=head3 --password STRING
Password is required to access the umls database on MySql
unless it was specified in the my.cnf file at installation
=head3 --hostname STRING
Hostname where mysql is located. DEFAULT: localhost
=head3 --socket STRING
The socket your mysql is using. DEFAULT: /tmp/mysql.sock
=head3 --database STRING
Database contain UMLS DEFAULT: umls
=head4 --help
Displays the quick summary of program options.
=head4 --version
Displays the version information.
=head1 OUTPUT
List of CUIs that are associated with the input term
