Overview

This manual page documents briefly the gbib commands.

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. It has virtually no documentation but is self explanatory

gbib is a user-friendly editor and browser for BibTeX databases. You can use it also to insert citations inside a LyX document.

Options

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). gbib supports the usual Gnome command line options. Additionally, the following options are supported:

--no-lyx=FILE

Set off lyx

--warnings=[01]

Whether display warnings

--help

Show summary of options.

--version

Show version of program.

WORKING WITH LyX

To insert citations in a LyX document, verify that LyX is running before clicking on the lyx button. The LyX server must be enabled, just add in your lyxrc this line:
\serverpipe "/YOUR_HOME_DIR/.lyxpipe"
