SYNTAX
calendar [ - ]
DESCRIPTION
Calendar consults the file calendar in the current directory and
prints out lines that contain today's or tomorrow's date anywhere
in the line. Most reasonable month-day dates such as "Aug. 24,"
"august 24," "8/24," etc., are recognized, but not "24 August" or
"24/8." On weekends "tomorrow" extends through Monday.
When an argument is present, calendar does its job for every user
who has an entry in the local /etc/passwd file and a file named
calendar in the login directory and sends them any positive
results by mail(1). Normally this is done daily by a cron job
prepared by the system administrator.

The cat command displays on the screen the contents of the users
calendar file. The date command displays the date and time. The
calendar command checks the file calendar in the current
directory and displays any messages for the day.

BUGS
Your calendar must be public information for you to get reminder
service. Users on the system must have read permission on your
calendar.
Calendar's extended idea of "tomorrow" does not account for
holidays.
