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.
