BIBTEX(1) UNIX 5.3 (9/18/90) BIBTEX(1)
NAME
bibtex - make a bibliography for TeX
SYNOPSIS
bibtex [aux_file_name]
DESCRIPTION
BibTeX reads the top-level auxiliary (.aux) file that was
output during a running of tex(1) and creates a bibliography
(.bbl) file that will be incorporated into the document on
subsequent runs. The aux_file_name on the command line must
be given without the .aux extension. If you don't give the
aux_file_name, the program prompts you for it.
BibTeX looks up, in bibliography database (.bib) files, the
entries specified by the (for example) \cite and \nocite
commands in the source file. It formats the information
from those entries according to instructions in a style
(.bst) file, and it outputs the results to the .bbl file.
The LaTeX manual (a.k.a. LaTeX - A Document Preparation
System, by Leslie Lamport, published by Addison-Wesley)
explains what a LaTeX source file must contain to work with
BibTeX. Appendix B of the LaTeX manual describes the format
of the .bib files. The `BibTeXing' document by Oren
Patashnik describes extensions and details of this format,
and it gives other useful hints for using BibTeX.
BibTeX can be used with formats other than LaTeX; in
particular, the eplain macros support BibTeX.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
bibtex searches the directories in the path defined by the
TEXINPUTS environment variable for .bst files. If TEXINPUTS
is not set, it uses the system default: .. For .bib files,
it uses the BIBINPUTS environment variable in a similar way.
The default path there is: .:/usr/local/lib/tex/bib. See
tex(1) for the details of the searching. If the environment
variable TEXMFOUTPUT is set, BibTeX attempts to put its
output files in it, if they cannot be put in the current
directory. Again, see tex(1). No special searching is done
for the .aux file.
