A BibTex and PDF search tool

peer

This is a simple PDF and BibTeX search tool. It started as a bash script, then a Python program, and now it's written in go.

Things it does:

• Search for PDFs by name

  peer search_term1 [search_term2...]

• Open a matching PDF

  peer -o N search_terms...

• Scan BibTeX for references

  peer --bibtex bibfile.bib --author Jenkins --year 1999

Things it might someday do:

• return formatted references

  peer ref --style agu08.bst --author Jenkins --year 1999

• add papers to bibtex file

  peer import fnm

• manage a reference database, sorting and updating as new papers are downloaded
