lookbib - search bibliographic databases
lookbib [-i string] [-t n] filename ...
lookbib --help
lookbib -v

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

references found on the standard output, and repeats this process
until the end of input. For each database filename to be searched,

searched instead; each index can cover multiple databases.
Whitespace is permitted between a command-line option and its
