-----------------
-file $(which i3)
-----------------
-
-You should get an output like this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-/usr/bin/i3: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically
-linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, not stripped
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Notice the +not stripped+, which is the important part. If you have a version
-which is stripped, please have a look if your distribution provides debug
-symbols (package +i3-wm-dbg+ on Debian for example) or if you can turn off
-stripping. If nothing helps, please build i3 from source.
+To save a compressed version of the logfile (suitable for attaching it to a
+bugreport), use:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+i3-dump-log | gzip -9c > /tmp/i3.log.gz
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
