18              use  @ctan  type  instead of @manual. The difference between the

EXAMPLES

29       $ ctanbib latex
30
31       This  invocation will print data in the BibLaTeX format to the standard
32       output:
33
34       @manual{latex,
35       title = {The Latex package},
36       subtitle = {A TeX macro package that defines LaTeX},
37       author = {Lamport, Leslie and The LaTeX Team},
38       url = {http://www.latex-project.org/},
39       urldate = {2018-08-23},
40       date = {2018-04-01},
41       version = {PL 5}
42       }
43
44       The --ctan option:
45
46       $ ctanbib -c hyperref
47
48       This produces bib record with the @ctan type:
49
50       @ctan{hyperref,
51       title = {The Hyperref package},
52       subtitle = {Extensive support for hypertext in LaTeX},
53       author = {Rahtz, Sebastian and Oberdiek, Heiko},
54       url = {/macros/latex/contrib/hyperref},
55       urldate = {2018-08-27},
56       date = {},
57       version = {6.86b}
58       }
