      lookbib  prints a prompt on the standard error (unless the
      standard input is not a terminal), reads from the standard
      input  a  line  containing a set of keywords, searches the
      bibliographic databases _\bf_\bi_\bl_\be_\bn_\ba_\bm_\be...  for  references  con-
      taining those keywords, prints any references found on the
      standard output, and repeats this process until the end of
      input.   For  each database _\bf_\bi_\bl_\be_\bn_\ba_\bm_\be to be searched, if an
      index _\bf_\bi_\bl_\be_\bn_\ba_\bm_\be.\b.i\bi created by  i\bin\bnd\bdx\bxb\bbi\bib\bb(1)  exists,  then  it
      will  be  searched  instead; each index can cover multiple
      databases.

      -\b-v\bv     Print the version number.

      -\b-i\bi_\bs_\bt_\br_\bi_\bn_\bg
             When searching files for  which  no  index  exists,
             ignore  the  contents  of fields whose names are in
             _\bs_\bt_\br_\bi_\bn_\bg.

      -\b-t\bt_\bn    Only require the first _\bn characters of keys  to  be
             given.  Initially _\bn is 6.
