NAME
       fvwm-bug	- report a bug in fvwm

SYNOPSIS
       fvwm-bug	[--help] [--version] [address]

DESCRIPTION
       fvwm-bug	 is  a	shell script to	help the user compose and mail bug re-
       ports concerning	fvwm in	a standard format.  fvwm-bug invokes the  edi-
       tor specified by	the environment	variable EDITOR	on a temporary copy of
       the  bug	 report	 format	outline. The user must fill in the appropriate
       fields and exit the editor.  fvwm-bug then mails	the  completed	report
       to  the	local  fvwm  maintainer,  the  fvwm  workers  list  fvwm-work-
       ers@fvwm.org, or	address.  If the report	cannot be mailed, it is	 saved
       in the file dead.fvwm-bug in the	invoking user's	home directory.

       The  bug	report format outline consists of several sections.  The first
       section provides	information about the machine, operating  system,  the
       fvwm  version,  and  the	 compilation  environment.  The	second section
       should be filled	in with	a description of the bug.  The	third  section
       should  be  a  description  of  how to reproduce	the bug.  The optional
       fourth section is for a proposed	fix.  Fixes are	encouraged.

ENVIRONMENT
       fvwm-bug	will utilize the following environment variables if  they  ex-
       ist:

       EDITOR Specifies	 the  preferred	editor.	If EDITOR is not set, fvwm-bug
	      defaults to emacs.

       HOME   Directory	in which the failed bug	report is saved	 if  the  mail
	      fails.
