lkbib - search bibliographic databases

[-p file] [-t n]
key ...
lkbib --help
lkbib -v lkbib --version
lkbib searches bibliographic databases for references that contain the keys key ... and prints any references found on the standard output. lkbib will search any 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.
--help
displays a usage message, while -v and
--version show version information; all exit
afterward.
