The suite currently contains:

=== ./bugnumbers ===

This tool collects bug numbers from Launchpad. You can pass it
 * `-V` which will return the version number of the bughelper suite
 * `-l <URL>` for a Launchpad bug list URL
 * a source package name like `evolution`


Examples: {{{
   bugnumbers -p evolution
   bugnumbers -l https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gcalctool/+bugs
}}}

=== ./bughelper ===

This tool searches through bugs and tries to find matches with data in `.info` files. It has the same functionality and switches as `bugnumber`. In addition to that it accepts
 * `--version` which will return the version number of the bughelper suite
 * `-A` which lets it search through all the bug attachments with the mime type `text/plain`.
 
Examples: {{{
   bughelper -p ubiquity
   bughelper -A -l https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gcalctool/+bugs
}}}

=== ./bugxml ===

This tool is primarily intended to help with the editing and creation of `.info` files. There are currently two use cases:
 * `-a <source package> <condition> <information>` adds a simple clue to an existing file or creates a new one.
 * `-e <string>` escapes a given string for use in XML files.
 * `-v <file>` validates a given file against the clue file schema.

Examples: {{{
   bugxml -a totem "libxine.so" "This might be a xine problem. Ask the reporter to check with xine-ui."
   bugxml -v packages/ubiquity.info
   bugxml -e This string has some weird characters like ä, ü and ö in it.
