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
