26 lookbib prints a prompt on the standard error (unless the
27 standard input is not a terminal), reads from the standard
28 input a line containing a set of keywords, searches the
29 bibliographic databases ''filename''... for references
30 containing those keywords, prints any references found on
31 the standard output, and repeats this process until the end
32 of input. For each database ''filename'' to be searched,
33 if an index ''filename''__.i__ created by
34 indxbib(1) exists, then it will be searched instead;
35 each index can cover multiple databases.
