NAME
       bibzbladd.pl - add Zbl numbers to papers in a given bib file

SYNOPSIS
       bibzbladd  [-d] [-f] [-e 1|0] [-o output] [-p probability] [-v|-q]
       bib_file

OPTIONS
       -d  Debug mode

       -e  If 1 (default), add an empty zblnumber if a zbl cannot be found.
           This prevents repeated searches for the same entries if you add new
           entries to the file.  Calling "-e 0" suppresses this behavior.

       -f  Force searching for Zbl numbers even if the entry already has one.

       -o output
           Output file.  If this option is not used, the name for the output
           file is formed by adding "_zbl" to the input file

       -p probability
           Zbmath.org now outputs a probability of match.  We disregard the
           matches with the probability lower than probability.  The default
           is 0.9

       -v  Verbose mode (the default).  Add to the output the intermediate
           results of zbl search

       -q  Quiet mode.  Do not add to the output the intermediate results of
           zbl search.

DESCRIPTION
       The script reads a BibTeX file.  It checks whether the entries have
       Zbls.  If not, it tries to find the numbers from Internet sites. The
       result is a BibTeX file with "zblnumber=..." fields added.

       The name of the output file is either set by the -o option or is
       derived by adding the suffix "_zbl" to the output file.

       See the "bibdoiadd" script for more details on the processing.
