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.
