NAME
       sendbug - mail a system bug report to 4bsd-bugs

SYNOPSIS
       sendbug [ address ]

DESCRIPTION
       Bug  reports sent to ‘4bsd-bugs@Berkeley.EDU’ are intercepted by a pro‐
       gram which expects bug reports to conform to a standard format.   _S_e_n_d_‐
       _b_u_g  is a shell script to help the user compose and mail bug reports in
       the correct format.  _S_e_n_d_b_u_g works by invoking the editor specified  by
       the  environment  variable _E_D_I_T_O_R on a temporary copy of the bug report
       format outline. The user must fill in the appropriate fields  and  exit
       the  editor.  The default editor is _v_i(1).  _S_e_n_d_b_u_g then mails the com‐
       pleted report to ‘4bsd-bugs@Berkeley.EDU’ or the address  specified  on
       the command line.

FILES
       /usr/ucb/bugformat       contains the bug report outline
