DESCRIPTION

12       lkbib  searches bibliographic databases for references that contain the
13       keys key... and prints any references found  on  the  standard  output.
14       lkbib will search any databases given by -p options, and then a default
15       database.  The default database is taken  from  the  REFER  environment
16       variable  if it is set, otherwise it is /usr/dict/papers/Ind.  For each
17       database filename to be searched, if an  index  filename.i  created  by
18       indxbib(1)  exists,  then  it  will be searched instead; each index can
19       cover multiple databases.
