pubindex - make inverted bibliographic index

pubindex [ file ] ...

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

Except for `A', each field should only be given once. Only relevant fields should be supplied. An example is:

%T 5-by-5 Palindromic Word Squares
%A M. D. McIlroy
%J Word Ways
%V 9
%P 199-202
%D 1976

x.ia, x.ib, x.ic where x is the first argument.
