NAME
       pubindex - make inverted bibliographic index

SYNOPSIS
       pubindex [ file ] ...

DESCRIPTION
       Pubindex  makes  a  hashed  inverted  index to the named
       files for use by refer(1).  The  files  contain  biblio-
       graphic  references separated by blank lines.  A biblio-
       graphic reference is a set of lines that contain biblio-
       graphic 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
