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.
