37 ## Effective bug reports
39 * Include a descriptive subject line (e.g. the program with which
40 you experience a problem, and what the problem is).
41 * Include the version of the program (e.g. the output of `PROG --version`).
42 * Include the operating system and the type of hardware you are using
43 (e.g. the output of `uname -a`).
44 * Include the exact command and parameters you have used.
45 * Clearly explain what is the output you expected to get, and what is
46 the actual result you encountered.
47 * Include as much information as possible to reproduce the problem.

49 a minimal example (a subset of the input file) that still causes the problem.

61 * Do not send messages encoded as HTML nor encoded as base64 MIME nor
62 included as multiple formats.
63 * Avoid sending large messages, such as log files, system call trace
64 output, and other content resulting in messages over about 40 kB.
65 * Avoid sending screenshots (e.g. PNG files). When reporting errors
66 you encounter on the terminal, copy and paste the text to your message.
