|
|
note the year must be fully specified:
|
|
.Dq Li cal 89
|
|
will
|
|
.Em not
|
|

|
|
Two parameters denote the month (1 - 12) and year.
|
|
Three parameters denote the day (1-31), month and year,
|
|
and the day will be highlighted if the calendar is displayed on a terminal.
|
|

|
|
displayed.
|
|
.Pp

A year starts on Jan 1. The first day of the week is determined by the locale.

|
The Gregorian Reformation is assumed to have occurred in 1752 on the 3rd
|
|
of September.
|
|
By this time, most countries had recognized the reformation (although a
|
|
few did not recognize it until the early 1900's.)
|
|
Ten days following that date were eliminated by the reformation, so the
|
|
calendar for that month is a bit unusual.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
A
|
|
.Nm

|

|
|
or GNU gcal.
