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
