This +provides the best way to submit a bug report for Octave. It creates a +template bug report file and starts an editor on that file. The bug report +will be sent to the bug-octave mailing list once the editing has been +completed (this assumes of course that your system can use email). However, +the user could also call \fBoctave-bug\fR outside of Octave. +.PP +Please read the `Bugs' chapter in the Octave manual to find out how to submit +a bug report that will enable the Octave maintainers to fix the problem. If +you are unable to use the bug_report command, send your message to the +bug-octave mailing list, bug-octave@bevo.che.wisc.edu. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.BI -s\ subject +Specify a subject line for the bug report. Spaces in the subject must +be quoted. +.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES +.B +octave-bug +uses the environment variables +.BR USER, +.BR EDITOR, +and +.B PAGER +which can be used for customization. +.SH VERSION +This document was last revised for Octave version 2.0.16. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR octave (1), +.BR bashbug (1) +.SH AUTHOR +.nf +John W.
