lookbib - search bibliographic databases

-i string] [

--help -v --version
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 containing 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.
Whitespace is permitted between a command-line option and its argument.
