     lkbib - search bibliographic databases

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

     It is possible to have whitespace between a command line option and its pa-
     rameter.

DESCRIPTION
     lkbib searches bibliographic databases for references that contain the keys
     key...  and prints any references found on the standard output.  lkbib will
     search any databases given by -p options, and then a default database.  The
     default 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 indxbib(1) exists, then it will
     be searched instead; each index can cover multiple databases.

	    n is 6.
