LOOKBIB(1) General Commands Manual LOOKBIB(1)
lookbib - search bibliographic databases
lookbib [ -v ] [ -istring ] [ -tn ] filename...
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.
It is possible to have whitespace between a command line option and
its parameter.
-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.
