abrtcli

abrtcli is a command-line interface for the Automated Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT). ABRT is a system that detects and reports application crashes and other problems to developers. The abrtcli utility allows users to interact with ABRT from the terminal, enabling them to manage and analyze crash reports.

Using abrtcli, users can list existing crash reports, view their details, and take actions such as uploading them or marking them as duplicates. The tool provides a way to query the ABRT database for specific types of issues or reports related to particular applications. It can also be used to enable or disable ABRT's automatic reporting features.

The primary function of abrtcli is to provide programmatic access to ABRT's capabilities, which is useful for system administrators or advanced users who need to automate bug reporting tasks or integrate ABRT with other monitoring systems. It offers options for filtering reports by various criteria like date, application name, or problem type, making it easier to manage a large number of crash incidents. The command-line nature of abrtcli ensures it can be scripted and used in automated workflows.
