81 Bibliographic databases are divided into records by blank lines.
82 Within a record, each fields starts with a
84 character at the beginning of a line.

98 options are stored in the index;
99 when the index is searched, keys will be discarded and truncated in a
100 manner appropriate to these options;
101 the original keys will be used for verifying that any record
102 found using the index actually contains the keys.
104 This means that a user of an index need not know whether these
105 options were used in the creation of the index,
106 provided that not all the keys to be searched for
107 would have been discarded during indexing
108 and that the user supplies at least the part of each key
109 that would have remained after being truncated during indexing.
