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.
