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

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

FILES

       filename.i  Index files.
