## SYNOPSIS

           glibcbug

## DESCRIPTION

           glibcbug  is  a tool for reporting bugs to the glibc main
           tainers.  It automatically starts an editor where the user
           can  enter  details  of the bug. On completion, the bug is
           sent to the appropriate address.  The User should  replace
           the  comments (text surrounded by <angle quotes>, and fill
           in the Subject: and From: lines with a summary and  e-mail
           address.

           If  the  user  believes  the  bug is related to SuSE Linux
           rather than to the glibc package, then an email to  <feed
           back@suse.de> should be send instead.

## ENVIRONMENT

           glibcbug  will utilize the following enviromntal variables
           if they exist:

           EDITOR and VISUAL Specifies the preferred editor. If  nei
                  ther  are  set,  glibcbug  will default to emacs as
                  editor.

           HOME   Directory in which the failed bug report  is  saved
                  if the mail fails.
