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.
