NAME

       sendbug - mail a system bug report to 4bsd-bugs

SYNOPSIS

       sendbug [ address ]

DESCRIPTION

       Bug reports sent to `4bsd-bugs@Berkeley.EDU' are intercepted by a program which expects bug reports to conform to a standard format.  Send-
       bug is a shell script to help the user compose and mail bug reports in the correct format.  Sendbug works by invoking the editor  specified
       by  the	environment variable EDITOR on a temporary copy of the bug report format outline. The user must fill in the appropriate fields and
       exit the editor.  The default editor is vi(1).  Sendbug then mails the completed report to `4bsd-bugs@Berkeley.EDU' or the  address  speci-
       fied on the command line.

NAME

       fvwm-bug - report a bug in fvwm

SYNOPSIS

       fvwm-bug [--help] [--version] [address]

DESCRIPTION

       fvwm-bug is a shell script to help the user compose and mail bug reports concerning fvwm in a standard format.  fvwm-bug invokes the editor
       specified by the environment variable EDITOR on a temporary copy of the bug report format outline. The user must fill  in  the  appropriate
       fields  and  exit  the  editor.	 fvwm-bug  then  mails the completed report to the local fvwm maintainer, the fvwm workers list fvwm-work-
       ers@fvwm.org, or address.  If the report cannot be mailed, it is saved in the file dead.fvwm-bug in the invoking user's home directory.

       The bug report format outline consists of several sections.  The first section provides information about the  machine,	operating  system,
       the  fvwm  version, and the compilation environment.  The second section should be filled in with a description of the bug.  The third sec-
       tion should be a description of how to reproduce the bug.  The optional fourth section is for a proposed fix.  Fixes are encouraged.

ENVIRONMENT

       fvwm-bug will utilize the following environment variables if they exist:

       EDITOR Specifies the preferred editor. If EDITOR is not set, fvwm-bug defaults to emacs.

       HOME   Directory in which the failed bug report is saved if the mail fails.
