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-
       workers@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 section 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.
