# bitutils
A collection of small, single-purpose scripts written in POSIX shell and awk
for the manipulation of bibtex database files from the command line. Each one
is small and single purpose. They are as follows:

## bib-util
A general wrapper script that centralizes the functionality of many of the
smaller provided scripts for convenience's sake.

## bib-add
A script for inserting a new entry into a bibtex database file. It will
accept a fully formatted entry on standard input and add it to a database
file presented as an argument.

## bib-gen
A script which generates a bibtex entry based on input. By default it will
run in an interactive mode, prompting the user to enter the relevant details.
Additionally, it can be configured to read the data directly from stdin based
on format arguments, or data can be provided directly as arguments. The
formatted bibtex entry will be emitted on stdout.

## bib-extract 
A script which filters a bibtex database provided on stdin or as an argument
and emits only those entries contained within a specified aux file.

## bib-key
A script which accepts a bibtex entry on stdin, and emits it on stdout with
an automatically generated bibtex key.

## bib-fetch
A script which accepts a pdf file as an input argument and will attempt to
fetch a corresponding bibtex entry from crossref.org based on its DOI, if
one is available.
