GAWKBUG(1) General Commands Manual GAWKBUG(1)
NAME
gawkbug - report a bug in gawk
SYNOPSIS
gawkbug [--version] [--help] [email-address]
DESCRIPTION
gawkbug is a shell script to help the user compose and mail bug reports concerning gawk in
a standard format. gawkbug invokes the editor specified by the environment variable EDI-
TOR on a temporary copy of the bug report format outline. The user must fill in the appro-
priate fields and exit the editor. gawkbug then mails the completed report to bug-
gawk@gnu.org, or email-address. If the report cannot be mailed, it is saved in the file
dead.gawkbug 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 gawk version, and the compilation en-
vironment. 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
gawkbug will utilize the following environment variables if they exist:
EDITOR Specifies the preferred editor. If EDITOR is not set, gawkbug attempts to locate a
number of alternative editors, including vim, and if must, emacs. If gawkbug can-
not locate any of the alternative editors, it attempts to execute vi.
HOME Directory in which the failed bug report is saved if the mail fails.
TMPDIR Directory in which to create temporary files and directories.
