NAME
octave-bug - report a bug in GNU Octave
SYNOPSIS
octave-bug [-s subject]
DESCRIPTION
octave-bug is a shell script to help the user compose and mail bug
reports concerning Octave in a standard format. octave-bug is
typically invoked by the Octave command bug_report which is intended to
be called interactively from within Octave. This provides the best way
to submit a bug report for Octave. It creates a template bug report
file and starts an editor on that file. The bug report will be sent to
the bug-octave mailing list once the editing has been completed (this
assumes of course that your system can use email). However, the user
could also call octave-bug outside of Octave.
Please read the ‘Bugs’ chapter in the Octave manual to find out how to
submit a bug report that will enable the Octave maintainers to fix the
problem. If you are unable to use the bug_report command, send your
message to the bug-octave mailing list, bug@octave.org.
OPTIONS
-s subject
Specify a subject line for the bug report. Spaces in the

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
