BIBPARSE(1)              USER COMMANDS                BIBPARSE(1)



NAME
     bibparse - reconstruct a BibTeX bibliography data base  file
     from bibclean or biblex lexical analysis output

SYNOPSIS
     bibparse <infile
     or
     bibparse file1 file2 file3 ...

DESCRIPTION
     bibparse takes a lexical token stream  from  bibclean(1)  or
     from  biblex(1), and verifies that it conforms to a proposed
     grammar for BibTeX.

     The only output produced by  bibparse  is  on  the  standard
     error   unit,  and  then  only  if  grammatical  errors  are
     detected.  Silent execution means a successful parse.

     The program exit code is 0 on a successful parse,  and  non-
     zero otherwise.

     For example, you can syntax check a bibliography  collection
     by the UNIX pipelines
          bibclean -no-prettyprint *.bib | bibparse
          biblex *.bib | bibparse
