CAL(1)

NAME

cal − print calendar

SYNOPSIS

­cal [ ­month ] [ ­year ]

DESCRIPTION

­Cal prints a calendar.  ­Month is either a number from 1 to 12, a lower case month name, or a lower case three-letter prefix of a month name.  ­Year can be between 1 and 9999.  If either ­month or ­year is omitted, the current month or year is used.  If only one argument is given, and it is a number larger than 12, a calendar for all twelve months of the given year is produced; otherwise a calendar for just one month is printed.  The calendar produced is that for England and her colonies. 

Try

cal sep 1752

SOURCE

­/sys/src/cmd/cal.c

BUGS

The year is always considered to start in January even though this is historically naive. 

Beware that ­cal 90 refers to the early Christian era, not the 20th century.
