Please do not open issues to ask questions about using libmodbus.
Use the mailing list for this as there are many more people reading
that list, who could help you.
When using libmodbus from a distribution (Debian, Fedora...), please
report the bug first in the bug tracker of the distribution. The
reason for doing so is that the package maintainer should have a chance
to look at the issue first as it might be a packaging error. If/when
the package maintainer comes to the conclusion that is really an upstream
bug, then he/she will usually report it here by himself/herself.
This is because he/she is interested in staying in the notification chain
to decide about a backport as soon as a bugfix is available.
Otherwise you (distribution user) will be asked to do so explicitely.
When you get here and you are still convinced that you want report a bug:
Use a clear and decriptive title for the issue to identify
Which version of libmodbus are you using? you can obtain this information
from your package manager or by running pkg-config --modversion libmodbus.
You can provide the sha1 of the commit if you have fetched the code with git.
Which operating system are you using?
Describe the exact steps which reproduce the problem in as many details as
possible. For example, the software/equipement which runs the Modbus server, how
the clients are connected (TCP, RTU, ASCII) and the source code you are using.
Please read the following carefully before submitting this new issue.
Please ensure, that you are really reporting a bug. When in doubt, post a message on https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/libmodbus or send an email to libmodbus@googlegroups.com
