miktex-bibtex — make a bibliography for LaTeX
miktex-bibtex [option...] auxfile
This man page is an adaption of the corresponding TeX Live man page.
BibTeX reads the top-level auxiliary
(.aux) file that was output during the running of
miktex-latex(1)
miktex-tex(1)
and creates a bibliography (.bbl) file that will
be
incorporated into the document on subsequent runs of LaTeX or TeX.
BibTeX looks up, in bibliographic database
(.bib) files specified by the \bibliography command, the entries specified 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 reference manual explains what a LaTeX source file
must contain 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.
--alias=namePretend to be program name,
i.e., set program (and memory dump) name to
name.
This may affect the search paths and other values used. Using this
option is equivalent to copying the program file to
and invoking
name.name
--disable-installerDisable automatic installation of packages. Specifying this option overrules settings in the MiKTeX configuration data store.
--enable-installerEnable automatic installation of packages. Specifying this option overrules settings in the MiKTeX configuration data store.
--helpGive help and exit.
--hhelpThis option is only available on Windows systems: show the manual page in an HTML Help window and exit when the window is closed.
--include-directory=dirAdd the directory dir to the
head of the list of directories to be searched for input
files.
--min-crossrefs=nDefines the minimum number of crossrefs required for automatic inclusion of the crossref'd entry on the citation list; the default is two.
--quietSuppress all output, except errors.
--record-package-usages=file--trace[=tracestreams]Enable trace messages.
The tracestreams argument, if specified, is
a comma-separated list of trace stream names (Chapter 9, Trace Streams).
--versionShow version information and exit.
BIBINPUTSExtra paths to locate .bib files.
BSTINPUTSExtra paths to locate .bst files.
MIKTEX_TRACEComma-separated list of trace stream names (see Chapter 9, Trace Streams). If this variable is set, then MiKTeX programs will write trace messages into the configured log sink.
