NAME
BibTool - BibTeX file manipulation tool
SYNOPSIS
bibtool [options] [files]
DESCRIPTION
This manual is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete documentation for BibTool can be
found in the BibTool Manual. BibTeX provides an easy to use means to integrate citations
and bibliographies into LaTeX documents. But the user is left alone with the management of
the BibTeX files. BibTool is intended to fill this gap. BibTool allows the manipulation
of BibTeX files which goes beyond the possibilities - and intentions - of BibTeX.
BibTool manipulates BibTeX database files through the command line front-end bibtool which
accepts numerous options. Modifications are performed through resource instructions that
allow the modification of the various internal parameters determining the behavior of
BibTool; resource instructions can be grouped in resource files. The original BibTool
distribution contains a sufficient set of resource file samples to perform basic, relevant
manipulations.

Input file
