NAME
pubindex - make inverted bibliographic index SYNOPSIS
pubindex [ file ] ... DESCRIPTION
Pubindex makes a hashed inverted index to the named files for use by refer(1). The files contain bibliographic references separated by blank lines. A bibliographic reference is a set of lines that contain bibliographic information fields. Each field starts on a line beginning with a `%', followed by a key-letter, followed by a blank, and followed by the contents of the field, which continues until the next line starting with `%'. The most common key-letters and the corresponding fields are: A Author name B Title of book containing article referenced C City D Date d Alternate date E Editor of book containing article referenced G Government (CFSTI) order number I Issuer (publisher) J Journal K Other keywords to use in locating reference M Technical memorandum number N Issue number within volume O Other commentary to be printed at end of reference P Page numbers R Report number r Alternate report number T Title of article, book, etc. V Volume number X Commentary unused by pubindex Except for `A', each field should only be given once. Only relevant fields should be supplied. An example is: %T 5-by-5 Palindromic Word Squares %A M. D. McIlroy %J Word Ways %V 9 %P 199-202 %D 1976 FILES
x.ia, x.ib, x.ic where x is the first argument. SEE ALSO

NAME
addbib - create or extend a bibliographic database SYNOPSIS
addbib [-a] [-p promptfile] database DESCRIPTION
When addbib starts up, answering y to the initial Instructions? prompt yields directions. Typing n (or <RETURN>) skips the directions. addbib then prompts for various bibliographic fields, reads responses from the terminal, and sends output records to database. A null response (just <RETURN>) means to leave out that field. A `-' (minus sign) means to go back to the previous field. A trailing backslash allows a field to be continued on the next line. The repeating Continue? prompt allows the user either to resume by typing y (or <RETURN>), to quit the current session by typing n or q, or to edit database with any system editor (see vi(1), ex(1), ed(1)). OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -a Suppresses prompting for an abstract. Asking for an abstract is the default. Abstracts are ended with a Control-D. -p promptfile Uses a new prompting skeleton, defined in promptfile. This file should contain prompt strings, a <TAB>, and the key-letters to be written to the database. USAGE
Bibliography Key Letters The most common key-letters and their meanings are given below. addbib insulates you from these key-letters, since it gives you prompts in English, but if you edit the bibliography file later on, you will need to know this information. %A Author's name %B Book containing article referenced %C City (place of publication) %D Date of publication %E Editor of book containing article referenced %F Footnote number or label (supplied by refer) %G Government order number %H Header commentary, printed before reference %I Issuer (publisher) %J Journal containing article %K Keywords to use in locating reference %L Label field used by -k option of refer %M Bell Labs Memorandum (undefined) %N Number within volume %O Other commentary, printed at end of reference %P Page number(s) %Q Corporate or Foreign Author (unreversed) %R Report, paper, or thesis (unpublished) %S Series title %T Title of article or book %V Volume number %X Abstract -- used by roffbib, not by refer %Y,Z Ignored by refer EXAMPLES
Example 1: Editing the bibliography file Except for A, each field should be given just once. Only relevant fields should be supplied. %A Mark Twain %T Life on the Mississippi %I Penguin Books %C New York %D 1978 ATTRIBUTES
