.SH PARAMETERS
|
|
A single parameter specifies the year to be displayed; note the
|
|
year must be fully specified:
|
|
.B "cal 89"
|
|
will not display a calendar for 1989.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Two parameters denote the month (1 - 12) and year.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Three parameters denote the day (1-31), month and year, and the day will be
|
|
highlighted if the calendar is displayed on a terminal. If no parameters are
|
|
specified, the current month's calendar is displayed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A year starts on Jan 1. The first day of the week is determined by the
|
|
locale.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The week numbering depends on the choice of the first day of the week. If Sunday
|
|
(the default) is used for the first day of the week, then the customary North
|
|
American numbering will be used, i.e. the first Sunday of the year starts the
|
|
first week. If Monday is selected, then the ISO-8601 standard week numbering
|
|
is used, where the first Thursday of the year is in week number 1.
|
|
.SH COLORS
|
|
Implicit coloring can be disabled as follows:
|
|
.RS
|
|
|
|
.br

.RE

|
|
.BR terminal-colors.d (5).
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.B cal
|
|
program uses the 3rd of September 1752 as the date of the Gregorian calendar
|
|
reformation -- that is when it happened in Great Britain and its colonies
|
|
(including what is now the USA). Ten days following that date were eliminated
|
|
by this reformation, so the calendar for that month is rather unusual.
|
|
The actual historical dates at which the calendar reform happened in all the
|
|
different countries (locales) are ignored.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Alternative calendars, such as the Umm al-Qura, the Solar Hijri, the Ge'ez,
|
|
or the lunisolar Hindu, are not supported.
|
|
