NAME
glookbib - search bibliographic databases
SYNOPSIS
glookbib [ -v ] [ -istring ] [ -tn ] filename...
DESCRIPTION
glookbib 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 gindxbib(1) exists, then it will
be searched instead; each index can cover multiple
databases.
OPTIONS

-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.
