NAME
     miktex-bibtex - make a bibliography for LaTeX

SYNOPSIS
     miktex-bibtex [option...] auxfile

DESCRIPTION
     This man page is an adaption of the corresponding TeX Live man page.

     BibTeX reads the top-level auxiliary (.aux) file that was output during the
     running  of  miktex-latex(1)miktex-tex(1) and creates a bibliography (.bbl)
     file that will be incorporated into the document on subsequent runs of  La-
     TeX or TeX.

     BibTeX  looks  up,  in bibliographic database (.bib) files specified by the
     \bibliography command, the entries specified by the \cite and \nocite  com-
     mands  in	the  LaTeX  or	TeX source file. It formats the information from
     those entries according to instructions in a bibliography style (.bst) file
     (specified by the \bibliographystyle command, and it outputs the results to
     the .bbl.	file.

     The LaTeX reference manual explains what a LaTeX source file  must  contain
     to  work  with BibTeX. Appendix B of the manual describes the format of the
     .bib files. The BibTeXing document describes extensions and details of this
     format, and it gives other useful hints for using BibTeX.

	 searched for input files.

	 sion of the crossref'd entry on the citation list; the default is two.

     --quiet

     --record-package-usages=file
	 Record all package usages and write them into file.

     --trace[=tracestreams]

     MIKTEX_TRACE
