!!NAME


lookbib - search bibliographic databases
!!SYNOPSIS


__lookbib__ [[ __-v__ ] [[ __-i__''string'' ] [[
__-t__''n'' ] ''filename''...


It is possible to have whitespace between a command line
option and its parameter.
!!DESCRIPTION


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.
!!OPTIONS


__-v__


Print the version number.


__-i__''string''


When searching files for which no index exists, ignore the
contents of fields whose names are in
''string''.


__-t__''n''


Only require the first ''n'' characters of keys to be
given. Initially ''n'' is 6.
!!FILES


''filename''__.i__


Index files.
