💖 m68hc11-gccbug — bestie edition ✨

okay so real talk, this is the m68hc11-gccbug(1) page from the General Commands Manual, and it's literally just a little helper that lets you yell at the GCC devs about a bug 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

m68hc11-gccbug — report a bug to the GCC developers, bestie 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

m68hc11-gccbug

no flags, no args, no drama. she just runs. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so m68hc11-gccbug is a tool for reporting bugs to the GCC maintainers. that's it, that's the job. 💖

the way it works: it automatically starts an editor for you, and you type in all the deets about the bug. when you're done and you close it out, the bug gets sent to the appropriate address. periodt. ✨

and now the important part, the part where you actually have to do stuff (iykyk):

  • you, the User, should replace the comments — that means the text surrounded by <angle quotes> — with your actual info
  • also fill in the Subject: and From: lines with a summary and your e-mail address

do not skip that. do not leave the angle-bracket placeholder text in there. that would be so embarrassing for us. 😭

ok one more thing — if you think the bug is actually related to Debian rather than to the m68hc1x-gcc package, then you should use the reportbug command instead. wrong address energy is not the vibe. 💀

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

m68hc11-gccbug will utilize the following enviromntal variables if they exist (yes, spelled like that in the source, she's quirky 💜):

  • EDITOR and VISUAL — these specify your preferred editor. if neither are set, m68hc11-gccbug will default to /usr/bin/sensible-editor to determine a working editor. slay, sensible choice honestly. 🎀
  • HOME — the directory in which the failed bug report is saved if the mail fails. so like, if the mail doesn't go through, your whole beautiful writeup gets tucked away safely here instead of vanishing into the void. thank u HOME. 🫶

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

  • reportbug(1) — the Debian-flavored one, go here if it's a Debian thing 💖

and that's the whole page bestie, no cap. this lil doc is dated 07 February 2003 and comes from the General Commands Manual — vintage but still serving ⭐💅
