NAME

bibdup - check for duplicate abbreviations and entries in BibTeX bibliography data base files

SYNOPSIS

bibdup <infile >outfile 
or
bibdup bibfile1 bibfile2 bibfile3 ... >outfile

DESCRIPTION

bibdup uses biblex(1) to lexically analyze BibTeX files and nawk(1) to check for duplicate @String{...} abbreviations, and duplicate citation keys. Letter case is ignored in string comparisons, by the simple expedient of using tr(1) to convert the lexical token stream output by biblex(1) to lower case.

Duplicates are displayed on the standard output in the form 

Duplicate string abbreviation ["pub-aw"]:
        # line 1 "ll.bib"
        # line 141 "master.bib"
Duplicate key ["lamport:ldp85"]:
        # line 4 "ll.bib"
        # line 4172 "master.bib"
...
ANSI/ISO Standard C preprocessor lines identify the line number and file name where the duplicates are detected.
