>&#13;      Users can query Bugzilla from the command line using this suite
      of utilities.
    </P
><P
>&#13;      The query.conf file contains the mapping from options to field
      names and comparison types.  Quoted option names are "grepped"
      for, so it should be easy to edit this file.  Comments (#) have
      no effect; you must make sure these lines do not contain any
      quoted "option"
    </P
><P
>&#13;      buglist is a shell script which submits a Bugzilla query and
      writes the resulting HTML page to stdout.  It supports both
      short options, (such as "-Afoo" or "-Rbar") and long options
      (such as "--assignedto=foo" or "--reporter=bar").  If the first
      character of an option is not "-", it is treated as if it were
      prefixed with "--default=".
    </P
><P
>&#13;      The columlist is taken from the COLUMNLIST environment variable.
      This is equivalent to the "Change Columns" option when you list
      bugs in buglist.cgi.  If you have already used Bugzilla, use
      <B
CLASS="command"
>grep COLUMLIST ~/.netscape/cookies</B
> to see
      your current COLUMNLIST setting.
    </P
><P
>&#13;      bugs is a simple shell script which calls buglist and extracts
      the bug numbers from the output.  Adding the prefix
      "http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id=" turns the bug
      list into a working link if any bugs are found. Counting bugs is
      easy.  Pipe the results through <B
CLASS="command"
>sed -e 's/,/ /g' | wc |
	awk '{printf $2 "\n"}'</B
