NAME
       lookbib - search bibliographic databases

SYNOPSIS
       lookbib [ -v ] [ -istring ] [ -tn ] filename...

DESCRIPTION
       lookbib	prints	a  prompt  on  the standard error (unless the standard
       input is not a terminal), reads from the standard input a line contain‐
       ing 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	 file‐
       name.i  created by indxbib(1) exists, then it will be searched instead;
       each index can cover multiple databases.

OPTIONS

       parameter.

       -v     Print the version number.

       -istring

	      tents of fields whose names are in string.

       -tn    Only require the first n characters of keys to be	 given.	  Ini‐
	      tially n is 6.
