# gbib(1)

editor and browser for BibTeX databases

## NAME

gbib - editor and browser for BibTeX databases

## SYNOPSIS

**gbib** \[*options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

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"
