BibTeX also\nwrites a log file to the basename of AUXFILE extended with '.blg'.\n\nThe names of the '.bib' and '.bst' files are specified in the '.aux'\nfile as well, via the '\\bibliography' and '\\bibliographystyle' (La)TeX\nmacros.  BibTeX searches for '.bib' files using the 'BIBINPUTS' and\n'TEXBIB' paths, and for '.bst' files using 'BSTINPUTS' (*note\n(kpathsea)Supported file formats::).  It does no path searching for\n'.aux' files.\n\nThe program accepts the following options, as well as the standard\n'-help' and '-version' (*note Common options::):\n'-terse'\nSuppress the program banner and progress reports normally output.\n\n'-min-crossrefs=N'\nIf at least N (2 by default) bibliography entries refer to another\nentry E via their 'crossref' field, include E in the .bbl file,\neven if it was not explicitly referenced in the .aux file.  For\nexample, E might be a conference proceedings as a whole, with the\ncross-referencing entries being individual articles published in\nthe proceedings.\n\nIf you want to avoid these automatic inclusions altogether, make N\na sufficiently large number, and be sure to remove any previous\n.aux and .bbl files.  Otherwise the option may appear to have no\neffect, since BibTeX will have added the citation for E to the\n.aux, and nothing will remove it.\n\nSee also:\n'btxdoc.tex'\nBasic LaTeXable documentation for general BibTeX users.\n\n'btxhak.tex'\nLaTeXable documentation for style designers.\n\n'btxdoc.bib'\nBibTeX database file for the two above documents.\n\n'xampl.bib'\nExample database file with all the standard entry types.\n\n'<ftp://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/>'\nA very large '.bib' and '.bst' collection, including references for\nall the standard TeX books and a complete bibliography for TUGboat.\n",
