NAME
bk sendbug − file a bug report

SYNOPSIS
bk sendbug [−T] [email@host]

DESCRIPTION
File a bug or request for enhancement (RFE) against a project.

The default behavior is to display the graphical version of sendbug when the DISPLAY environment variable is set (UNIX) or if it is run on a Windows operating system. To use a text editor rather than the GUI, use the −T option.

If email address is specified, the bug will be sent to that email address.

This command should be used to file a bug report rather then sending mail to one of the developers.

The BitKeeper bug database is online at http://db.bitkeeper.com.

The bug database is also available via email, consult the web page for more information.

OPTIONS
−T Use a text editor rather than the default graphical tool to fill out a bug report.

ENVIRONMENT
REPLYTO submitter’s email address

EXAMPLE
An example text template looks like this:

Bug/RFE:
[bug is obvious, RFE is request for enhancement]

Program:

Release:
