NAME
bashbug - report a bug in bash
SYNOPSIS
bashbug [--help] [--version] [bug-report-email-addresses]
DESCRIPTION
bashbug is a utility for reporting bugs in Bash to the maintainers.
bashbug will start up your preferred editor with a preformatted bug
report template for you to fill in. Save the file and quit the editor
once you have completed the missing fields. bashbug will notify you of
any problems with the report and ask for confirmation before sending
it. By default the bug report is mailed to both the GNU developers and
the Debian Bash maintainers. The recipients can be changed by giving a
comma separated list of bug-report-email-addresses.
If you invoke bashbug by accident, just quit your editor. You will
always be asked for confirmation before a bug report is sent.
