NAME<\/p>\n
cal – display a calendar<\/p>\n
SYNOPSIS<\/p>\n
cal [options] [[[day] month] year]<\/p>\n
DESCRIPTION<\/p>\n
cal displays a simple calendar.\u00a0 If no arguments are specified, the
\ncurrent month is displayed.<\/p>\n
OPTIONS<\/p>\n
-1, –one
\nDisplay single month output.\u00a0 (This is the default.)<\/p>\n
-3, –three
\nDisplay three months spanning the date.<\/p>\n
-s, –sunday
\nDisplay Sunday as the first day of the week.<\/p>\n
-m, –monday
\nDisplay Monday as the first day of the week.<\/p>\n
-j, –julian
\nDisplay Julian dates (days one-based, numbered from January
\n1).<\/p>\n
-y, –year
\nDisplay a calendar for the whole year.<\/p>\n
-w, –week[=number]
\nDisplay week numbers in the calendar (US or ISO-8601).<\/p>\n
–color[=when]
\nColorize output.\u00a0 The when can be never, auto, or always.
\nNever will turn off colorizing in all situations.\u00a0 Auto is
\ndefault, and it will make colorizing to be in use if output is
\ndone to terminal.\u00a0 Always will allow colors to be outputed
\nwhen cal outputs to pipe, or is called from a script.<\/p>\n
-V, –version
\nDisplay version information and exit.<\/p>\n
-h, –help
\nDisplay help text and exit.<\/p>\n
PARAMETERS<\/p>\n
A single parameter specifies the year to be displayed; note the year
\nmust be fully specified: cal 89 will not display a calendar for 1989.<\/p>\n
Two parameters denote the month (1 – 12) and year.<\/p>\n
Three parameters denote the day (1-31), month and year, and the day
\nwill be highlighted if the calendar is displayed on a terminal. If no
\nparameters are specified, the current month’s calendar is displayed.<\/p>\n
A year starts on Jan 1. The first day of the week is determined by
\nthe locale.<\/p>\n
The week numbering depends on the choice of the first day of the
\nweek.\u00a0 If Sunday (the default) is used for the first day of the week,
\nthen the customary North American numbering will be used, i.e. the
\nfirst Sunday of the year starts the first week.\u00a0 If Monday is
\nselected, then the ISO-8601 standard week numbering is used, where
\nthe first Thursday of the year is in week number 1.<\/p>\n
COLORS<\/p>\n
Implicit coloring can be disabled as follows:<\/p>\n
touch \/etc\/terminal-colors.d\/cal.disable<\/p>\n
For more details see terminal-colors.d(5).<\/p>\n
BUGS<\/p>\n
The cal program uses the 3rd of September 1752 as the date of the
\nGregorian calendar reformation — that is when it happened in Great
\nBritain and its colonies (including what is now the USA).\u00a0 Ten days
\nfollowing that date were eliminated by this reformation, so the
\ncalendar for that month is rather unusual.\u00a0 The actual historical
\ndates at which the calendar reform happened in all the different
\ncountries (locales) are ignored.<\/p>\n
Alternative calendars, such as the Umm al-Qura, the Solar Hijri, the
\nGe’ez, or the lunisolar Hindu, are not supported.<\/p>\n
HISTORY<\/p>\n
A cal command appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.<\/p>\n
AVAILABILITY<\/p>\n
The cal command is part of the util-linux package and is available
