octave-bug - report a bug in GNU Octave
SYNOPSIS
octave-bug [-s subject]
DESCRIPTION
octave-bug is a shell script to help the user compose and
mail bug reports concerning Octave in a standard format.
octave-bug is typically invoked by the Octave command
bug_report which is intended to be called interactively
from within Octave. This provides the best way to submit a
bug report for Octave. It creates a template bug report
file and starts an editor on that file. The bug report
will be sent to the bug-octave mailing list once the edit
ing has been completed (this assumes of course that your
system can use email). However, the user could also call
octave-bug outside of Octave.
Please read the `Bugs' chapter in the Octave manual to
find out how to submit a bug report that will enable the
Octave maintainers to fix the problem. If you are unable
to use the bug_report command, send your message to the
bug-octave mailing list, bug-octave@bevo.che.wisc.edu.
