NAME
       lookbib - search bibliographic databases

SYNOPSIS
       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 containing a set of	 keywords,  searches  the
       bibliographic  databases	 filename...  for references con
       taining 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.

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