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

       bbiibbdduupp _<_i_n_f_i_l_e _>_o_u_t_f_i_l_e
       or
       bbiibbdduupp _b_i_b_f_i_l_e_1 _b_i_b_f_i_l_e_2 _b_i_b_f_i_l_e_3 _._._.  _>_o_u_t_f_i_l_e

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       bbiibbdduupp uses bbiibblleexx(1) to lexically  analyze  BibTeX  files
       and  nnaawwkk(1) to check for duplicate @String{...} abbrevia-
       tions,  and  duplicate  citation  keys.   Letter  case  is
       ignored  in string comparisons, by the simple expedient of
       using ttrr(1) to convert the lexical token stream output  by
       bbiibblleexx(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.
