The .I auxname on the command line must be given without the .I .aux extension. If you don't give the .IR auxname , the program prompts you for it. .PP \*(BX looks up, in bibliographic database .RI ( .bib ) files specified by the \\bibliography command, the entries specified by the \\cite and \\nocite commands in the \*(LX or \*(TX source file. It formats the information from those entries according to instructions in a bibliography style .RI ( .bst ) file (specified by the \\bibliographystyle command, and it outputs the results to the .I .bbl file. .PP The \*(LX manual explains what a \*(LX source file must contain to work with \*(BX. Appendix B of the manual describes the format of the .I .bib files. The `\*(BXing' document describes extensions and details of this format, and it gives other useful hints for using \*(BX. .\"===================================================================== .SH OPTIONS The .B -min-crossrefs option defines the minimum number of .B crossref required for automatic inclusion of the crossref'd entry on the citation list; the default is two. Without the .B -verbose option, BibTeX operates silently. With it, a banner and progress reports are printed on .IR stdout . .PP .\"===================================================================== .SH ENVIRONMENT \*(BX searches the directories in the path defined by the BSTINPUTS environment variable for .I .bst files. If BSTINPUTS is not set, it uses TEXINPUTS; and if TEXINPUTS is not set, it uses the system default: .br .I @DEFAULT_BST_PATH@ .br For .I .bib files, it uses the BIBINPUTS environment variable if that is set, otherwise the default: .br .I @DEFAULT_BIB_PATH@ .br See .BR tex (1) for the details of the searching. .PP If the environment variable TEXMFOUTPUT is set, \*(BX attempts to put its output files in it, if they cannot be put in the current directory. Again, see .BR tex (1). No special searching is done for the .I .aux file. .\"===================================================================== .SH FILES .TP \w'@btxdoc.bib'u+2n .I *.bst Bibliography style files. .TP .I btxdoc.tex ``\*(BXing'' \- \*(LXable documentation for general \*(BX users .TP .I btxhak.tex ``Designing \*(BX Styles'' \- \*(LXable documentation for style designers .TP .I btxdoc.bib database file for those two documents .TP .I xampl.bib database file giving examples of all standard entry types .TP .I btxbst.doc template file and documentation for the standard styles .PP All those files should be available somewhere on your system. .PP The host math.utah.edu has a vast collection of .I .bib files available for anonymous ftp, including references for all the standard \*(TX books and a complete bibliography for TUGboat. .\"===================================================================== .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR latex (1), .BR tex (1). .br Leslie Lamport, .IR "\*(LX \- A Document Preparation System" , Addison-Wesley, 1985, ISBN 0-201-15790-X. .\"===================================================================== .SH AUTHOR Oren Patashnik, Stanford University. This man page describes the web2c version of \*(BX. Other ports of \*(BX, such as Donald Knuth's version using the Sun Pascal compiler, do not have the same path searching implementation, or the command-line options.
