27 octave-bug \- report a bug in GNU Octave
34 is a shell script to help the user compose and mail bug reports
35 concerning Octave in a standard format.
37 is typically invoked by the Octave command
39 which is intended to be called interactively from within Octave. This
40 provides the best way to submit a bug report for Octave. It creates a
41 template bug report file and starts an editor on that file. The bug report
42 will be sent to the bug-octave mailing list once the editing has been
43 completed (this assumes of course that your system can use email). However,
44 the user could also call \fBoctave-bug\fR outside of Octave.
46 Please read the `Bugs' chapter in the Octave manual to find out how to submit
47 a bug report that will enable the Octave maintainers to fix the problem. If
48 you are unable to use the bug_report command, send your message to the
49 bug-octave mailing list, bug-octave@bevo.che.wisc.edu.
53 Specify a subject line for the bug report. Spaces in the subject must
55 .SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
