       lkbib - search bibliographic databases

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
       llkkbbiibb [ --vv ] [ --ii_f_i_e_l_d_s ] [ --pp_f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e ] [ --tt_n ] _k_e_y...

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       llkkbbiibb searches bibliographic databases for references that
       contain the keys _k_e_y...  and prints any  references  found
       on  the  standard output.  llkkbbiibb will search any databases
       given by --pp options, and then  a  default  database.   The
       default database is taken from the RREEFFEERR environment vari-
       able    if    it    is    set,     otherwise     it     is
       //uussrr//sshhaarree//ddiicctt//ppaappeerrss//IInndd.  For each database _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e to
       be searched, if an index _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e..ii created by  iinnddxxbbiibb(1)
       exists,  then  it will be searched instead; each index can
       cover multiple databases.

       --pp_f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e
              Search _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e.  Multiple --pp options can be  used.

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

       --tt_n    Only  require  the first _n characters of keys to be
              given.  Initially _n is 6.
