Description
lkbib searches bibliographic databases for references containing keywords key and writes any references found to the standard output stream. It reads databases given by -p options and then (unless -n is given) a default database. The default database is taken from the REFER environment variable if it is set, otherwise it is /usr/dict/ papers/Ind. For each database file to be searched, if an index file.i created by indxbib(1) exists, then it will be searched instead; each index can cover multiple databases.
Options
--help
displays a usage message, while -v and
--version show version information; all exit
afterward.
-i string
When searching files for which no index exists, ignore the contents of fields whose names are in string.
