NAME

bibparse - verify a bibclean or biblex lexical token stream

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
