lkbib - search bibliographic databases
lkbib [-n] [-i fields] [-p filename] [-t n] key ... lkbib --help lkbib -v lkbib --version
lkbib searches bibliographic databases for references that contain the keys key ... and prints any references found on the standard output. lkbib will search any databases given by -p options, and then 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 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.
--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. -p filename Search filename. Multiple -p options can be used. -t n Only require the first n characters of keys to be given. Initially, n is 6.
REFER Default database.
/usr/dict/papers/Ind Default database to be used if the REFER environment variable is not set. filename.i Index files.
