NAME
       ctanbib  -  retrieve  bibliographic  information for packages hosted on
       CTAN.

SYNOPSIS
       ctanbib <options> [package name]

DESCRIPTION
       This command can retrieve bibliographic information  for  TeX  packages
       hosted on CTAN in the BibTeX format.

OPTIONS
       -c,--ctan
              use  @ctan  type  instead of @manual. The difference between the
              two is that the url field contains package CTAN path, instead of
              link to the package.

       -h,--help
              print the help message.

       -v,--version
              print the version info.

EXAMPLES
       $ ctanbib latex

       This  invocation will print data in the BibLaTeX format to the standard
       output:

       @manual{latex,
       title = {The Latex package},
       subtitle = {A TeX macro package that defines LaTeX},
       author = {Lamport, Leslie and The LaTeX Team},
       url = {http://www.latex-project.org/},
       urldate = {2018-08-23},
       date = {2018-04-01},
       version = {PL 5}
       }

       The --ctan option:

       $ ctanbib -c hyperref

       This produces bib record with the @ctan type:

       @ctan{hyperref,
       title = {The Hyperref package},
       subtitle = {Extensive support for hypertext in LaTeX},
       author = {Rahtz, Sebastian and Oberdiek, Heiko},
       url = {/macros/latex/contrib/hyperref},
       urldate = {2018-08-27},
       date = {},
       version = {6.86b}
       }
