<refsect1 id='description'><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para><application>bugzilla-submit</application> is a command-line tool
for posting bug reports to any instance of Bugzilla. It accepts on
standard input text resembling an RFC-822 message. The headers of
that message, and its body, are used to set error-report field values.
More field values are merged in from command-line options. If required
fields have not been set, <application>bugzilla-submit</application>
tries to compute them. Finally, the resulting error report is
validated. If all required fields are present, and there are no
illegal fields or values, the report is shipped off to the Mozilla
instance specified by the single positional argument. Login/password
credentials are read from the calling user's <filename>~/.netrc</filename>
file.</para>
<para>bugzilla-submit accepts a single argument:
<replaceable>bugzilla-url</replaceable>. Its value must match the
relevant Bugzilla instance's base URL (technically, its
<replaceable>urlbase</replaceable> param). The program also accepts the
following options to set or override fields:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>-b. --bug-status</term>
<listitem>
<para>Set the bug_status field, overriding the Status header from
standard input if present. (The stock Bugzilla web presentation
identifies this field as <quote>Status</quote>.)</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>-u, --url</term>
<listitem>
<para>Set the bug_file_loc field, overriding the URL header from
standard input if present. (The stock Bugzilla web presentation
identifies this field as <quote>URL</quote>.)</para>
</listitem>

</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>-o, --os</term>
<listitem><para>Set the op_sys field, overriding the OS (Operating
System) header from standard input if necessary. (The stock Bugzilla web
presentation also identifies this field as
<quote>OS</quote>.)</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>-r, --priority</term>
<listitem><para>Set the priority field, overriding the Priority header
from standard input if necessary.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>

from standard input if necessary.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>-d, --description</term>
<listitem><para>Set the comment field, overriding the Description header
from standard input if necessary. (The stock Bugzilla web presentation
identifies this field as <quote>Description</quote>.) If there is a
message body and no Description field and this option is not
specified, the message body is used as a description.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>-a, --assigned-to</term>
<listitem>
<para>Set the optional assigned_to field, overriding the Assigned-To
header from standard input if necessary.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>

</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>This program will try to deduce OS and Hardware if those are not
specified. If it fails, validation will fail before shipping the
report.</para>
<para>There is expected to be a single positional argument following
any options. It should be the URL of the Bugzilla instance to which
the bug is to be submitted.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1 id='files'><title>FILES</title>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><filename>~/.netrc</filename></term>
<listitem><para>Must contain an entry in which the machine field is
the Bugzilla instance URL, the login field is your ID on that host, and the
password field is the right password. The URL in the machine field
must be enclosed in double quotes.</para>
<para>For example, if your Bugzilla instance is at
"http://landfill.bugzilla.org/bztest/", and your login and password
there are "john@doe.com" and "foo", respectively, your
<filename>.netrc</filename> entry should look something like:</para>
<screen>
machine "http://landfill.bugzilla.org/bztest/"
login john@doe.com
password foo
</screen>
<para>Note that the machine entry should match exactly the instance URL
specified to <application>bugzilla-submit</application>.</para>
