NAME¶
Gcal - a program for calculating and printing calendars.
SYNOPSIS¶
gcal [[Option...] [%Date] [@File...]]
[Command]
DESCRIPTION¶
Gcal is a program similar the standard calendar programs BSD-`
cal' and `
calendar'.
Gcal displays hybrid and proleptic Julian and Gregorian calendar sheets,
respectively, for one month, three months or a whole year. It also displays
eternal holiday lists for many countries around the globe, and features a very
powerful creation of fixed date lists that can be used for reminding purposes.
Gcal can calculate various astronomical data and times of the Sun and the Moon
for at pleasure any location, precisely enough for most civil purposes. Gcal
supports some other calendar systems, for example the Chinese and Japanese
calendar, the Hebrew calendar and the civil Islamic calendar, too.
If
Gcal is started without any
options or
commands, a
calendar of the current month is displayed.
If the calendar of a definite year is wanted, the year must be fully specified,
e.g.: gcal 94
displays a year calendar of the year 94, not of the year 1994.
If two arguments are given in the
command part, the first argument
denotes the month and the second argument denotes the year. In case any
illegal
commands are given running
Gcal , the program will use
internal defaults.
You obtain more program information if you start
Gcal as follows:
gcal -h
gcal -?
gcal --help
respectively,
gcal -hh
gcal -??
gcal --long-help[=ARG]|[=?]
