General Commands Manual

Name

lkbib - search bibliographic databases

Synopsis

lkbib [-n] [-i fields] [-p file] ... [-t n] key ...

lkbib --help

lkbib -v

lkbib --version

Description

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 indxbib(1) exists, then it will be searched instead; each index can cover multiple databases.

Options

--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.

Environment

REFER: Default database.

Files

/usr/dict/papers/Ind: Default database to be used if the REFER environment variable is not set.
file.i: Index files.
