NAME
     glookbib - search bibliographic databases

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

     It is possible to have whitespace  between  a  command  line
     option and its parameter.

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 contain-
     ing those keywords, prints any references found on the stan-
     dard  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  data-
     bases.

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.

FILES
     filename.i  Index files.
