Ubuntu Manpage: c - genericised soft drink generator (ie coffee, coke etc)

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 effects, 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 corresponds 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 deliberately. -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 thimbleful

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 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.

--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.
