SYNOPSIS

pubindex [ file ] ...  

DESCRIPTION

Pubindex makes a hashed inverted index to the named files for use by refer(1). The files contain bibliographic references separated by blank lines. A bibliographic reference is a set of lines that contain bibliographic information fields. Each field starts on a line beginning with a `%', followed by a key-letter, followed by a blank, and followed by the contents of the field, which continues until the next line starting with `%'. The most common key-letters and the corresponding fields are:
A       Author name
B       Title of book containing article referenced
C       City
D       Date
d       Alternate date
E       Editor of book containing article referenced
G       Government (CFSTI) order number
I       Issuer (publisher)
J       Journal
K       Other keywords to use in locating reference
M       Technical memorandum number
N       Issue number within volume
O       Other commentary to be printed at end of reference
P       Page numbers
R       Report number
r       Alternate report number
T       Title of article, book, etc.
V       Volume number
X       Commentary unused by pubindex
