4. Book list on an EBNET server

Instead of usual output, ebinfo can output a list of books that an EBNET server provides. Summary of its command line usage is:

 
% ebinfo --book-list remote-server-identifier

where remote-server-identifier must be a remote access identifier without book name. For example,

 
% ebinfo --book-list ebnet://dict.example.com
Name             Title
encycl           Brown Concise Encyclopedia
encycl.app       Brown Concise Encyclopedia (appendix)
crossword        Crossword Puzzle Dictionary
travel           World Travel Guide

An entry whose name ends with `.app' in the list is an appendix, and others are books. Note that EBNET server doesn't show books and appendixes not permitted to be accessed from the client.
