SYNOPSIS
pubindex [ file ] ...
DESCRIPTION
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 begin‐
ning 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 corre‐
sponding 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

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
