ctanbib <options> [package name]
DESCRIPTION

like --ctan option, but use original url instead of CTAN path.
-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}
}
