       bbiibbdduupp uses bbiibblleexx(1) to lexically  analyze  BibTeX  files
       and  nnaawwkk(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 ttrr(1) to convert the lexical token stream output  by
       bbiibblleexx(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.
