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.   Send���
       bug  is a shell script to help the user compose and mail bug reports in
       the correct format.  Sendbug works by invoking the editor 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.  The default editor is vi(1).  Sendbug 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
