lkbib - search bibliographic databases
lkbib [ -v ] [ -ifields ] [ -pfilename
] [ -tn ] key...
It is possible to have whitespace between a command line option
and its parameter.
lkbib searches bibliographic databases for references that contain the
keys key... and prints any references found on the standard output.
lkbib will search any databases given by -p options, and then a
default database. The default database is taken from the
REFER environment variable if it is set, otherwise it is
/usr/dict/papers/Ind. For each database filename to be searched,
if an index filename.i created by indxbib(1) exists, then
it will be searched instead; each index can cover multiple databases.

n is 6.
