NAME¶
xcalpr - print xcal calendar entries
SYNTAX¶
xcalpr [
-c ][
-x ][
-f file ][
-d dir
][
-u user ][
date-spec ]
DESCRIPTION¶
Xcalpr prints the contents of the
xcal files. It is intended to be
used in situations when you have no access to an X screen. It can also be used
to generate entries for the standard UNIX
calendar program.
With no arguments, it prints any entries that exist for the next seven days. The
program also reads the contents of the seven daily files and prints them at
the appropriate point in the output stream. Each line in the output is
preceded by the day of the week, the day of the month, the month and the year.
Xcalpr can be given a date specification to select months and years. If
the date spec consists of just a year number, then all the data for that year
is printed. For example:
xcalpr 1994
will print all the data for 1994. Several years can be specified.
If you give the name of a month, then the data for that month in the current
year will be printed. If the month is in the past, then the data for that
month next year will be printed. For example, if
xcalpr oct jan
is typed in August,
xcalpr will print October in the current year and
January next year.
You can select a particular year by adding the number after any months that you
need printing:
xcalpr oct nov 1994
will print October and November in 1994.
There are a couple of special `month' names. The name
rest will print the
data for the rest of the month, starting tomorrow. The
rest argument is
not recognised if you give a year as a parameter. If tomorrow happens to be
the first day of the next month, then all the data for next month will be
printed. The name
next prints all the data for next month.
OPTIONS¶
The
-c option causes
xcalpr to output lines suitable for input to
the standard UNIX
calendar program.
The
-d switch is followed by a directory name and specifies an alterative
location for your Calendar directory. Your home directory is prepended if the
name doesn't start with a slash or a dot.
The
-f option is followed by a file name and
xcalpr will write
it's output to that file, rather than standard output.
The
-u option is followed by a user name and dumps their calendar files
rather than yours.
The
-x option makes
xcalev operate with Calendar files that are
compatible with the
xcalendar program.
