NAME

       lkbib - search bibliographic databases


SYNOPSIS

       lkbib [ -v ] [ -ifields ] [ -pfilename ] [ -tn ] key...

       It  is  possible to have whitespace between a command line
       option and its parameter.


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 vari-
       able     if     it     is    set,    otherwise    it    is
       /usr/share/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.

              string.
