NAME

       chicken-bug - generates a bug report from user input

SYNOPSIS

       chicken-bug [ filename | OPTION ...  ]

OPTIONS

       -help  Show usage information.

       -to-stdout
              Write bug report to standard output instead of writing it to a file.

       -      Read user input from standard input, even if files are given on the command line.

DESCRIPTION

       chicken-bug  generates  a  bug  report  file  that collects user-input, optional files and
       system information obtained from the installed CHICKEN  executables  and  libraries.  Non-
       option  arguments given on the command line are inserted into the bug report. If no option
       is given, or if - has been passed on the command line, then a description of  the  problem
       is  read from standard input, until EOF (CTRL-D) or a line consisting only of "." (period)
       is read.

       The bug report will be written to a file in the current directory, which should be sent to
       CHICKEN  maintainers as it contains various useful bits of information that make it easier
       to classify the problem described.

       Bug reports should be as detailed as possible. It is also very  helpful  to  include  code
       that  reproduces  the  problem.  The  more  detailed  the  input and the more thorough the
       description is, the easier you make it for the CHICKEN developers to help you.
