1 Please read the following carefully before submitting this new issue.
3 - Please ensure, that you are really reporting a bug. When in doubt, post a
4 message on <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/libmodbus> or send an
5 email to libmodbus@googlegroups.com
7 - Please do not open issues to ask questions about using libmodbus. Use the
8 mailing list for this as there are many more people reading that list, who
11 - When using libmodbus from a distribution (Debian, Fedora...), please report
12 the bug first in the bug tracker of the distribution. The reason for doing so
13 is that the package maintainer should have a chance to look at the issue first
14 as it might be a packaging error. If/when the package maintainer comes to the
15 conclusion that is really an upstream bug, then he/she will usually report it
16 here by himself/herself. This is because he/she is interested in staying in
17 the notification chain to decide about a backport as soon as a bugfix is
18 available. Otherwise you (distribution user) will be asked to do so
21 When you get here and you are still convinced that you want to report a bug:
23 - *Use a clear and decriptive title* for the issue to identify
25 - *Which version of libmodbus are you using?* you can obtain this information
26 from your package manager or by running `pkg-config --modversion libmodbus`.
27 You can provide the sha1 of the commit if you have fetched the code with `git`.
29 - *Which operating system are you using?*
31 - *Describe the exact steps which reproduce the problem* in as many details as
32 possible. For example, the software/equipement which runs the Modbus server, how
33 the clients are connected (TCP, RTU, ASCII) and the source code you are using.
35 - *Enable the debug mode*, libmodbus provides a function to display the content
36 of the Modbus messages and it's very convenient to analyze issues
37 (<http://libmodbus.org/docs/latest/modbus_set_debug.html>).
39 Good bug reports provide right and quick fixes!
