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.
