6 Take care to read the documentation at http://libmodbus.org/.
8 - *Be sure it's a bug before creating an issue*, in doubt, post a message on

10 <libmodbus@googlegroups.com>
12 - *Use a clear and descriptive title* for the issue to identify
14 - *Which version of libmodbus are you using?* you can obtain this information
15 from your package manager or by running `pkg-config --modversion libmodbus`.
16 You can provide the sha1 of the commit if you have fetched the code with `git`.
18 - *Which operating system are you using?*
20 - *Describe the exact steps which reproduce the problem* in as many details as
21 possible. For example, the software/equipment which runs the Modbus server, how
22 the clients are connected (TCP, RTU, ASCII) and the source code you are using.
24 - *Enable the debug mode*, libmodbus provides a function to display the content
25 of the Modbus messages and it's very convenient to analyze issues
