SYNOPSIS

cal [[month] year]


DESCRIPTION

cal displays a simple calendar. If no arguments are specified, the current month is displayed. A single argument is interpreted as a year and the calendar for every month in that year is displayed. Two arguments are taken as a month/year pair and the calendar for that month will be output.


BUGS

This version will not display calendars for years outside of what can be represented by gmtime. A replacement find_day_of_week function that handles arbitrary years would fix this problem. And we don't properly display the calendar for 1752. Sorry, but if you need it for planning your social calendar, well, then you have other serious problems..

The author also doesn't have a clue about how to use formats. If anyone has a better way to produce the output for full year calendars, please let me know.


HISTORY

A cal command appeared in Version 6 AT&T Unix
