usage: /usr/bin/lookbib [-i fields] [-t maximum-key-length] database ... usage: /usr/bin/lookbib {-v | --version} usage: /usr/bin/lookbib --help GNU lookbib writes a prompt to the standard error stream (unless the standard input stream is not a terminal), reads from the standard input a line containing a set of keywords, searches each bibliographic "database" for references containing those keywords, writes any references found to the standard output stream, and repeats this process until the end of input. See the lookbib(1) manual page.
