CAL(1)                               BSD                                CAL(1)



NAME
     cal - print calendar

SYNOPSIS
     cal [ month ] year


DESCRIPTION
     cal prints a calendar for a specified year.  If you specify a month, cal
     prints a calendar just for that month.  The range for year is 1-9999; for
     month, 1-12.  Both year and month must be Arabic numbers.  cal produces
     the Gregorian calendar for dates after 1752 (when this calendar was
     adopted by England and her colonies); cal produces the Julian calendar
     for dates before 1752.

EXAMPLES
     Try:

          cal 9 1752

     To print a calendar for the entire year of 1989, type the following:

          cal 1989

     To print a calendar for December, 1985 only, use this command:

          cal 12 1985

BUGS
     Note that specifying cal 89 prints a calendar for the year 89, not 1989.

     cal always assumes the year to start in January, even though this is
     historically naive.
