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@bevo.che.wisc.edu.

OPTIONS

       -s subject
	      Specify a subject line for the bug report.  Spaces in the subject must be quoted.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       octave-bug uses the environment variables USER, EDITOR, and PAGER which can be used for customization.

DOCUMENTATION

       The primary documentation for Octave is written using Texinfo, the GNU documentation system, which allows the same source files to be  used
       to produce on-line and printed versions of the manual.

       You can read the on-line copy of the Octave documentation by issuing the following command from within octave.

	   octave:1> doc

       The  Info  files may also be read with a stand-alone program such as info or xinfo.  HTML, Postscript, or PDF versions of the documentation
       are installed on many systems as well.

BUGS

       The Octave project maintains a bug tracker at http://bugs.octave.org.  Before submitting  a  new  item  please  read  the  instructions	at
       http://www.octave.org/bugs.html on how to submit a useful report.

FILES

       Upon startup Octave looks for four initialization files.  Each file may contain any number of valid Octave commands.

       octave-home/share/octave/site/m/startup/octaverc
	      Site-wide  initialization file which changes options for all users.  octave-home is the directory where Octave was installed such as
	      /usr/local.

       octave-home/share/octave/version/m/startup/octaverc
	      Site-wide initialization file for Octave version version.

       ~/.octaverc
	      User's personal initialization file.

       .octaverc
	      Project-specific initialization file located in the current directory.
