It is possible to have whitespace between a command line option and its parameter. DESCRIPTION lookbib prints a prompt on the standard error (unless the standard in- put is not a terminal), reads from the standard input a line containing a set of keywords, searches the bibliographic databases filename... for references containing those keywords, prints any references found on the standard output, and repeats this process until the end of input.
