SYNOPSIS

10       ctanbib <options> [package name]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       This command can retrieve bibliographic information  for  TeX  packages
14       hosted on CTAN in the BibTeX format.
15

OPTIONS

17       -c,--ctan
18              use  @ctan  type  instead of @manual. The difference between the
19              two is that the url field contains package CTAN path, instead of
20              link to the package.
21
22       -C,--CTAN
23              like --ctan option, but use original url instead of CTAN path.
24
25       -h,--help
26              print the help message.
27
28       -v,--version
29              print the version info.

EXAMPLES

32       $ ctanbib latex
33
34       This  invocation will print data in the BibLaTeX format to the standard
35       output:
36
37       @manual{latex,
38       title = {The Latex package},
39       subtitle = {A TeX macro package that defines LaTeX},
40       author = {Lamport, Leslie and The LaTeX Team},
41       url = {http://www.latex-project.org/},
42       urldate = {2018-08-23},
43       date = {2018-04-01},
44       version = {PL 5}
45       }
46
47       The --ctan option:
48
49       $ ctanbib -c hyperref
50
51       This produces bib record with the @ctan type:
52
53       @ctan{hyperref,
54       title = {The Hyperref package},
55       subtitle = {Extensive support for hypertext in LaTeX},
56       author = {Rahtz, Sebastian and Oberdiek, Heiko},
57       url = {/macros/latex/contrib/hyperref},
58       urldate = {2018-08-27},
59       date = {},
60       version = {6.86b}
61       }
