73 the index is written to a temporary file which is then renamed to

78 option has been used, and no
80 option is given, the index will be named

85 Bibliographic databases are divided into records by blank lines.
86 Within a record, each fields starts with a
88 character at the beginning of a line.
90 Fields have a one letter name which follows the
102 options are stored in the index;
103 when the index is searched, keys will be discarded and truncated in a
104 manner appropriate to these options;
105 the original keys will be used for verifying that any record
106 found using the index actually contains the keys.
108 This means that a user of an index need not know whether these
109 options were used in the creation of the index,
110 provided that not all the keys to be searched for
111 would have been discarded during indexing
112 and that the user supplies at least the part of each key
113 that would have remained after being truncated during indexing.
117 option is also stored in the index
118 and will be used in verifying records found using the index.
