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

-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.

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.
