NAME
   doi2bib - A little CLI tool to get the bibtex entry for a given DOI,
   arXiv or PubMed ID.

SYNOPSIS
   doi2bib [OPTION]... [ID]

ARGUMENTS
   ID  A DOI, an arXiv ID or a PubMed ID. The tool tries to automatically
       infer what kind of ID you are using. You can force the cli to
       lookup a DOI by using the form 'doi:ID' or an arXiv ID by using
       the form 'arXiv:ID'. PubMed IDs always start with 'PMC'.

OPTIONS
   -f FILE, --file=FILE
       With this flag, the tool reads the file and process its lines
       sequentially, treating them as DOIs, arXiv IDs or PubMedIDs.
       Errors will be printed on standard error but will not terminate
       the operation.

   --help[=FMT] (default=auto)
       Show this help in format FMT. The value FMT must be one of `auto',
       `pager', `groff' or `plain'. With `auto', the format is `pager` or
       `plain' whenever the TERM env var is `dumb' or undefined.

   -o OUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT (absent=stdout)
       Append the bibtex output to the specified file. It will create the
       file if it does not exist.

   --version
       Show version information.
