A bibliographic reference is a set of lines, constituting fields of bibliographic information. Each field starts on a line beginning with a % (percent sign), followed by a key letter, then a space character, and finally the contents of the field, which can continue until the next line starting with a % (percent sign). All key letters are ASCII characters.
The indxbib command is a shell script that calls the /usr/lib/refer/mkey and /usr/lib/refer/inv files. The first program, mkey, performs the following operations:
