CAL(C) UNIX System V
Name
cal - prints a calendar
Syntax
cal [[ month ] year]
Description
cal prints a calendar for the specified year. If a month is
also specified, a calendar for that month only is printed.
If no arguments are specified, the current, previous, and
following months are printed, along with the current date
and time. The year must be a number between 1 and 9999;
month must be a number between 1 and 12 or enough characters
to specify a particular month. For example, May must be
given to distinguish it from March, but S is sufficient to
specify September. If only a month string is given, only
that month of the current year is printed.
Notes
Beware that ``cal 84'' refers to the year 84, not 1984.
The calendar produced is that for England and her colonies.
Note that England switched from the Julian to the Gregorian
calendar in September of 1752, at which time eleven days
were excised from the year. To see the result of this
switch, try ``cal 9 1752''.
Standards Conformance
cal is conformant with:
AT&T SVID Issue 2, Select Code 307-127;
and The X/Open Portability Guide II of January 1987.
