NAME
       c - genericised soft drink generator (ie	coffee,	coke etc)

SYNOPSIS
       c [-s[number]] [-m[type]] [-e] [-i] [-T]	[-S amount] [--other=drink]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page	documents the  GNU  version  of	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.

OPTIONS
       -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  ef-
	      fects,  including	 rotting  teeth	and excess weight.

	      If  this	option	is specified with no parameter,	the default is
	      one.

       -m[type]
	      Determines  whether milk will  be	used or	not.  The default cor-
	      responds to the specification 'cold'.  cold - Normal, cold milk

	      hot Normal, hot milk

	      frth Frothed milk	(see -e	option for cappucino)

	      none No milk. Recommended	for those who have a deadline.

	      goat Use your imagination.

       -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).

       -i     Iced coffee. Self	explanatory really...

       -T     Turkish coffee.  The only	 type of  coffee that  is  boiled  de-
	      liberately.  -s2	or more	 recommended  to avoid grimaces.

       -S[amount]
	      Size   of	 the  virtual  'mug'   to be filled. The scale used is
	      fairly  arbitrary,  but should cover  most cases...  1  thimble-
	      ful

	      2	espresso cup

	      3	cafe-style coffee cup

	      4	office mug

	      5	sysadmin mug

	      6	bucket

	      Use  of -S 6 is contraindicated  for use with  n(1), due to pos-
	      sible  damage  to	t he  nasal  membranes,	 and risk   of	drown-
	      ing.   The default is 4; unless a	beta version of	 the OS	is in-
	      stalled, when the	default	is 5.  If the beta is of Digital UNIX,
	      6	is the default;	you'll need it.

       --other=drink
	      Specify  a drink other  than coffee.  Use	 of other options   is
	      not  recommended;	 the  behaviour	 is unspecified!

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.
