+DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
+ bbaasshhbbuugg is a shell script to help the user compose and mail bug reports
+ concerning bash in a standard format. bbaasshhbbuugg invokes the editor spec-
+ ified by the environment variable EEDDIITTOORR on a temporary copy of the bug
+ report format outline. The user must fill in the appropriate fields and
+ exit the editor. bbaasshhbbuugg then mails the completed report to _b_u_g_-
+ _b_a_s_h_@_g_n_u_._o_r_g, or _e_m_a_i_l_-_a_d_d_r_e_s_s. If the report cannot be mailed, it is
+ saved in the file _d_e_a_d_._b_a_s_h_b_u_g in the invoking user's home directory.
+
+ The bug report format outline consists of several sections. The first
+ section provides information about the machine, operating system, the
+ bash version, and the compilation environment. The second section
+ should be filled in with a description of the bug. The third section
+ should be a description of how to reproduce the bug. The optional
+ fourth section is for a proposed fix. Fixes are encouraged.
