lookbib - search bibliographic databases
lookbib [ -v ]
[ -istring ] [ -tn ] filename...
It is possible to have whitespace between
a command line option and its parameter.
lookbib prints a prompt
on the standard error (unless the standard input is not a terminal), reads
from the standard input a line containing a set of keywords, searches the
bibliographic databases filename... for references containing those keywords,
prints any references found on the standard output, and repeats this process
until the end of input. For each database filename to be searched, if an
index filename.i created by indxbib(1)
exists, then it will be searched
instead; each index can cover multiple databases.
- -v
- Print the version
number.
- -istring
- When searching files for which no index exists, ignore
the contents of fields whose names are in string.
- -tn
- Only require the first
n characters of keys to be given. Initially n is~6.
- filename.i
- Index
files.
