60 the index is written to a temporary file which is then renamed to this.

68 Bibliographic databases are divided into records by blank lines.
69 Within a record, each fields starts with a
71 character at the beginning of a line.
72 Fields have a one letter name which follows the
82 options are stored in the index;
83 when the index is searched, keys will be discarded and truncated in a
84 manner appropriate to these options;
85 the original keys will be used for verifying that any record
86 found using the index actually contains the keys.
87 This means that a user of an index need not know whether these
88 options were used in the creation of the index,

90 would have been discarded during indexing
91 and that the user supplies at least the part of each key
