NAME
       lookbib - search bibliographic databases

SYNOPSIS
       lookbib [ -v ] [ -istring ] [ -tn ] filename...

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.
