---- __NAME__ cal, ncal - displays a calendar and the date of easter __SYNOPSIS__ cal [[-jy] [[ [[month] year ] ncal [[-jJpwy] [[-s country_code] [[ [[month] year ]ncal [[-Jeo] [[year]__DESCRIPTION__ Cal displays a simple calendar in traditional format and ncal offers an alternative layout, more options and the date of easter. The new format is a little cramped but it makes a year fit on a 25x80 terminal. If arguments are not speci- fied, the current month is displayed. The options are as follows: -J Display Julian Calendar, if combined with the -eoption, display date of easter according to theJulian Calendar. -eDisplay date of easter (for western churches).-jDisplay Julian days (days one-based, numbered fromJanuary 1).-oDisplay date of orthodox easter (Greek and !RussianOrthodox Churches).-pPrint the country codes and switching days fromJulian to Gregorian Calendar as they are assumed byncal. The country code as determined from the localenvironment is marked with an asterisk.-s country_codeAssume the switch from Julian to Gregorian Calendarat the date associated with the country_code. If notspecified, ncal tries to guess the switch date fromthe local environment or falls back to September 2,1752. This was when Great Britain and her coloniesswitched to the Gregorian Calendar.-wPrint the number of the week below each week column.-yDisplay a calendar for the current year.A single parameter specifies the year (1 - 9999) to be dis-played; note the year must be fully specified: ``cal 89'' will ''not'' display a calendar for 1989. Two parameters denote the month (1 - 12) and year. A year starts on Jan 1. __SEE ALSO__ calendar(3), strftime(3) __HISTORY__ A cal command appeared in v6 UNIX. The ncal command appeared in FreeBSD 2.2.6. __AUTHORS__ The ncal command and manual were written by Wolfgang Helbig helbig@FreeBSD.org. __BUGS__ The assignment of Julian - Gregorian switching dates to country codes is historically naive for many countries.
