NAME
lookbib - search bibliographic databases
SYNOPSIS
lookbib [ -v ] [ -istring ] [ -tn ] filename...
DESCRIPTION

input is not a terminal), reads from the standard input a line contain-
ing 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 file-
name.i created by indxbib(1) exists, then it will be searched instead;
each index can cover multiple databases.
