DESCRIPTION

27       chicken-bug  generates  a  bug  report  file  that collects user-input,
28       optional files and  system  information  obtained  from  the  installed
29       CHICKEN  executables  and  libraries. Non-option arguments given on the
30       command line are inserted into the bug report. If no option  is  given,
31       or  if - has been passed on the command line, then a description of the
32       problem is read from standard input, until EOF (CTRL-D) or a line  con‐
33       sisting only of "." (period) is read.
34
35       The  bug  report  will  be  written to a file in the current directory,
36       which should be sent to CHICKEN maintainers as it contains various use‐
37       ful  bits  of  information  that make it easier to classify the problem
38       described.
39
40       Bug reports should be as detailed as possible. It is also very  helpful
41       to  include  code  that  reproduces  the problem. The more detailed the
42       input and the more thorough the description is, the easier you make  it
43       for the CHICKEN developers to help you.
