- 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.
