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:
