NAME
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 editing 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.org.
OPTIONS
- -s subject
- Specify a subject line for the bug report. Spaces in the

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

environment variables USER, EDITOR, and PAGER
which can be used for customization.
