SYNOPSIS
glibcbug
DESCRIPTION
glibcbug is a tool for reporting bugs to the glibc main
tainers. It automatically starts an editor where the user
can enter details of the bug. On completion, the bug is
sent to the appropriate address. The User should replace
the comments (text surrounded by <angle quotes>, and fill
in the Subject: and From: lines with a summary and e-mail
address.
If the user believes the bug is related to SuSE Linux
rather than to the glibc package, then an email to <feed_
back@suse.de> should be send instead.
ENVIRONMENT

if they exist:
- EDITOR and VISUAL Specifies the preferred editor. If nei
- ther are set, glibcbug will default to emacs as editor.
- HOME Directory in which the failed bug report is saved
- if the mail fails.
