Checkcites package not working properly

Question

I have compiled the .tex document, and the auxiliary file is in the same directory as my .bib file, and I am running the script from this directory.

I am using BibLaTeX for my references, and I cite by using the \parencite{} and \textcite{} commands - does it matter that I don't use the \cite{} command? Also, I have my report sections in separate .tex files, but I don't think this should matter as I get no section-specific .aux files from compiling.

When I run $ checkcites main.aux, I get the following output:

checkcites.lua -- a reference checker script (v1.0i)

I found 0 citation(s).
I couldn't find any bibliography files.
I'm afraid I have nothing to do now.

You can do something similar with biblatex and Biber directly. What exactly do you want to do? — moewe, May 31 '17 at 08:03
A solution that works within the document and not via the command line is How to split bibliography into “works cited” and “works not cited”?. There is also Creating .bib file containing only the cited references of a bigger .bib file. And unknown references are already listed in the .log: LaTeX Warning: Citation 'sigfridsson' on page 1 undefined on input line 27. — moewe, May 31 '17 at 08:07

checkcites is not intended to be used with biblatex.
