NAME
       apport-cli - Command line client for reporting problems

SYNOPSIS
       apport-cli

       apport-cli -c report

       apport-cli -f -p package

       apport-cli -f -P pid

DESCRIPTION
       apport  automatically collects data from crashed processes and compiles
       a problem report in /var/crash/. This is a command  line	 frontend  for
       reporting  those	 crashes  to  the  developers.	It can also be used to
       report bugs about packages or running processes.

       For desktop systems with a graphical user interface,  you  should  con‐
       sider  installing  the  GTK or Qt user interface (apport-gtk or apport-
       qt).  apport-cli is mainly intended to be used on servers.

       When called without any options, it processes the pending crash reports
       and  offers  to report them one by one. You can also display the entire
       report to see what is sent to the software developers.

OPTIONS
       -c report, --crash-file=report
	      Instead of walking over the new crash  reports  in  /var/crash/,
	      report  a particular report in an arbitrary file location.  This
	      is useful for copying a crash report to a machine with  internet
	      connection and reporting it from there.

       -f, --file-bug
	      Report  a	 (non-crash) problem. Requires specifying --package or
	      --pid.  This will automatically attach  information  about  your
	      operating	 sytem and the package version etc. to the bug report,
	      so that the developers have some important context.

       -p package, --package=package
	      When being used in  --file-bug  mode,  specify  the  package  to
	      report the problem against.

       -P pid, --pid=pid
	      When being used in --file-bug mode, specify the PID (process ID)
	      of a running program to report the problem against. This can  be
	      determined with e. g.  ps -ux.


ENVIRONMENT
       APPORT_IGNORE_OBSOLETE_PACKAGES
	      Apport  refuses  to  create  bug	reports	 if the package or any
	      dependency is not current. If this environment variable is  set,
	      this check is waived. Experts who will thoroughly check the sit‐
	      uation before filing a bug  report  can  define  this  in	 their
	      ~/.bashrc or temporarily when calling the apport frontend (-cli,
	      -gtk, or -qt).
