lookbib(1)                                                         User Commands                                                        lookbib(1)

NAME

       lookbib - find references in a bibliographic database

SYNOPSIS

       lookbib database

DESCRIPTION

       A  bibliographic reference is a set of lines, constituting fields of bibliographic information.  Each field starts on a line beginning with
       a `%', followed by a key-letter, then a blank, and finally the contents of the field, which may continue until the next line starting  with
       `%'.

       The lookbib utility uses an inverted index made by indxbib to find sets of bibliographic references.  It reads keywords typed after the `>'
       prompt on the terminal, and retrieves records containing all these keywords. If nothing matches, nothing is  returned  except  another  `>'
       prompt.

       It is possible to search multiple databases, as long as they have a common index made by indxbib(1).  In that case, only the first argument
       given to indxbib is specified to lookbib.

       If lookbib does not find the index files (the .i[abc] files), it looks for a reference file with the same name as the argument, without the
       suffixes.  It creates a file with a .ig suffix, suitable for use with fgrep (see grep(1)). lookbib then uses this fgrep file to find refer-
       ences.  This method is simpler to use, but the .ig file is slower to use than the .i[abc] files, and does not allow  the  use  of  multiple
       reference files.
