BASHBUG(1) bashbug BASHBUG(1)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.
OPTIONS --help
Show a brief usage message and exit.
--version

bug-report-email-addresses
Comma separated list of recipients' email addresses. By default the report is mailed to both the GNU developers and the Debian Bash
maintainers.
