SYNOPSIS
     lkbib [ -v ] [ -ifields ] [ -pfilename ] [ -tn ] key...

     contain  the  keys key... and prints any references found on

     database is taken from the REFER environment variable if  it
     is  set,  otherwise  it  is  /usr/dict/papers/Ind.  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.
