bashbug - report a bug in bash
Contents
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.
