description

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.

options

-v

Print the version number.

-pfilename

Search filename. Multiple -p options can be used.

-istring

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

-tn

Only require the first n characters of keys to be given. Initially n is 6.

environment

REFER

Default database.

files

/usr/dict/papers/Ind

Default database to be used if the REFER environment variable is not set.
