NAME
     refer - expand and insert references  from  a  bibliographic
     database

SYNOPSIS
     refer [-ben] [-ar] [-cstring]  [-kx]  [-lm,n]  [-p filename]
     [-skeys] filename...

DESCRIPTION
     refer is a preprocessor  for  nroff(1),  or  troff(1),  that
     finds  and  formats  references.  The  input files (standard
     input by default) are copied to the standard output,  except
     for  lines  between  `.[' and `.]' command lines, Such lines
     are assumed to contain keywords as for lookbib(1),  and  are
     replaced by information from a bibliographic data base.  The
     user can avoid the search, override fields from it,  or  add
     new  fields.  The  reference  data, from whatever source, is
     assigned to a set of troff strings.  Macro packages such  as
     ms(5)  print the finished reference text from these strings.
     A flag is placed in the text at the point of  reference.  By
     default, the references are indicated by numbers.

     When refer is used  with  eqn(1),  neqn,  or  tbl(1),  refer
     should be used first in the sequence, to minimize the volume
     of data passed through pipes.

OPTIONS
     -b              Bare mode - do not put  any  flags  in  text
                     (neither numbers or labels).



     -e              Accumulate references instead of leaving the
                     references   where   encountered,   until  a
                     sequence of the form:



                     .[
                     $LIST$
                     .]




                     is  encountered,  and  then  write  out  all
                     references collected so far. Collapse refer-
                     ences to the same source.

User Commands                                            refer(1)



     -n              Do not search the default file.



     -ar             Reverse the first r author names (Jones,  J.
                     A.  instead  of J. A. Jones).  If r is omit-
                     ted, all author names are reversed.



     -cstring        Capitalize  (with  SMALL  CAPS)  the  fields
                     whose key-letters are in string.



     -kx             Instead of numbering references, use  labels
                     as specified in a reference data line begin-
                     ning with the characters %x; By  default,  x
                     is L.



     -lm,n           Instead of numbering references, use  labels
                     from  the  senior author's last name and the
                     year  of  publication.   Only  the  first  m
                     letters  of  the  last  name  and the last n
                     digits of the date are used.  If either of m
                     or  n  is  omitted, the entire name or date,
                     respectively, is used.



     -p filename     Take the next argument as a file  of  refer-
                     ences  to  be searched.  The default file is
                     searched last.



     -skeys          Sort references by fields whose  key-letters
                     are  in  the keys string, and permute refer-
                     ence numbers in the text accordingly.  Using
                     this  option implies the -e option. The key-
                     letters in keys may be followed by a  number
                     indicating  how  many  such fields are used,
                     with a + sign taken as a very large  number.
                     The default is AD, which sorts on the senior
                     author and date.  To sort on all authors and
                     then the date, for instance, use the options
                     `-sA+T'.
