.TH C 1 "May 27, 1997" "GNU Drink Utilities"
.SH NAME
c \- genericised soft drink generator (ie coffee, coke etc)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B c
.B [-s[number]] [-m[type]] [-e] [-i] [-T] [-S amount]
.B [--other=drink]
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the GNU version of
.B c.
c is a genericised soft drinks engine designed to provide a stream
of the desired beverage on the standard output. By default, c
makes coffee, white, no sugar. This is a historical choice based
on the authors preferences. This behaviour is controlled by the
options, and a wide range of other drinks are possible. Please note
that not all combinations make sense, in taste terms, but that
parsing by c extends only to syntax. Experiment at your own risk.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-s[number]
Specifies the number of sugars desired. If this
option is omitted, none will be included.
Excessively large values will result in unpleasant
side effects, including rotting teeth and excess
weight.
If this option is specified with no parameter, the default
is one.
.TP
.B \-m[type]
Determines whether milk will be used or not. The
default corresponds to the specification 'cold'.
.I cold
- Normal, cold milk
.I hot
Normal, hot milk
.I frth
Frothed milk (see -e option for cappucino)
.I none
No milk. Recommended for those who have a deadline.
.I goat
Use your imagination.
.TP
.B \-e
Espresso option. High pressure steam is forced
through fine ground dark beans for a stronger brew;
careful use of the -S option is advised to avoid
shaky hands and heart palpitations (see BUGS).
.TP
.B \-i
Iced coffee. Self explanatory really...
.TP
.B \-T
Turkish coffee. The only type of coffee that is
boiled deliberately. -s2 or more recommended to
avoid grimaces.
.TP
.B \-S[amount]
Size of the virtual 'mug' to be filled. The scale
used is fairly arbitrary, but should cover most
cases...
.I 1
thimbleful
.I 2
espresso cup
.I 3
cafe-style coffee cup
.I 4
office mug
.I 5
sysadmin mug
.I 6
bucket
Use of -S 6 is contraindicated for use with n(1), due to
possible damage to t he nasal membranes, and risk of
drowning. The default is 4; unless a beta version of the
OS is installed, when the default is 5. If the beta is of
Digital UNIX, 6 is the default; you'll need it.
.TP
.B \--other=drink
Specify a drink other than coffee. Use of other
options is not recommended; the behaviour is
unspecified!
.SH BUGS
Caffeine overdose can result by inadvised combinations of
options (ie -e and large values for -S). If you suffer
from increased heart rate, visual disturbance, shaking
hands, shortness of breath, it is suggested that you
discontinue use. A -d (decaf) option was included in
previous versions, but was removed after a threatened
litigation arising from an unfortunate practical joke
involving misuse.
