NAME
bibtex - make a bibliography for (La)TeX
SYNOPSIS
bibtex [ -min-crossrefs=number ] [ -terse ] [ auxname ]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The com-
plete documentation for this version of TeX can be found in
the info file or manual Web2C: A TeX implementation.
BibTeX reads the top-level auxiliary (.aux) file that was
output during the running of latex(1) or tex(1) and creates
a bibliography (.bbl) file that will be incorporated into
the document on subsequent runs of LaTeX or TeX. The aux-
name on the command line must be given without the .aux
extension. If you don't give the auxname, the program
prompts you for it.
BibTeX looks up, in bibliographic database (.bib) files
specified by the \bibliography command, the entries speci-
fied by the \cite and \nocite commands in the LaTeX or TeX
source file. It formats the information from those entries
according to instructions in a bibliography style (.bst)
file (specified by the \bibliographystyle command, and it
outputs the results to the .bbl file.
The LaTeX manual explains what a LaTeX source file must con-
tain to work with BibTeX. Appendix B of the manual
describes the format of the .bib files. The `BibTeXing'
document describes extensions and details of this format,
and it gives other useful hints for using BibTeX.
OPTIONS
The -min-crossrefs option defines the minimum number of
crossref required for automatic inclusion of the crossref'd
entry on the citation list; the default is two. With the -
terse option, BibTeX operates silently. Without it, a
banner and progress reports are printed on stdout.
ENVIRONMENT
BibTeX searches the directories in the path defined by the
BSTINPUTS environment variable for .bst files. If BSTINPUTS
is not set, it uses the system default. For .bib files, it
uses the BIBINPUTS environment variable if that is set, oth-
erwise the default. See tex(1) for the details of the
searching.
If the environment variable TEXMFOUTPUT is set, BibTeX
attempts to put its output files in it, if they cannot be
put in the current directory. Again, see tex(1). No spe-
cial searching is done for the .aux file.
FILES
*.bst
Bibliography style files.
btxdoc.tex
``BibTeXing'' - LaTeXable documentation for general
BibTeX users
btxhak.tex
``Designing BibTeX Styles'' - LaTeXable documentation
for style designers
btxdoc.bib
database file for those two documents
xampl.bib
database file giving examples of all standard entry
types
btxbst.doc
template file and documentation for the standard styles
All those files should be available somewhere on your sys-
tem.
The host math.utah.edu has a vast collection of .bib files
available for anonymous ftp, including references for all
the standard TeX books and a complete bibliography for TUG-
boat.

AUTHOR
Oren Patashnik, Stanford University. This man page
describes the web2c version of BibTeX. Other ports of Bib-
TeX, such as Donald Knuth's version using the Sun Pascal
compiler, do not have the same path searching implementa-
tion, or the command-line options.
