lkbib - search bibliographic databases
lkbib |
[-n] [-i fields]
[-p file] ... [-t n] key
... |
lkbib searches bibliographic databases for references
containing keywords key and writes any references found to the
standard output stream. It reads databases given by -p options and
then (unless -n is given) a default database. The default database is
taken from the REFER environment variable if it is set, otherwise it
is /usr/dict/papers/Ind. For each database file to be
searched, if an index file.i created by gindxbib(1) exists,
then it will be searched instead; each index can cover multiple
databases.
--help displays a usage message, while -v and
--version show version information; all exit afterward.
- -i string
- When searching files for which no index exists, ignore the contents of
fields whose names are in string.
- -n
- Suppress search of default database.
- -p file
- Search file. Multiple -p options can be used.
- -t n
- Require only the first n characters of keys to be given. The
default is 6.
- /usr/dict/papers/Ind
- Default database to be used if the REFER environment variable is
not set.
- file.i
- Index files.
