Great tool
Where are the days 3 to 14? Is something wrong with my computer? I'm answering this question two years late, but oh well :-) Check out the man page for cal for an answer: CAL(1) BSD General Commands Manual CAL(1) NAME cal - displays a calendar SYNOPSIS cal [-jy] [[month] year] DESCRIPTION cal displays a simple calendar. If arguments are not specified, the cur- rent month is displayed. The options are as follows: -j Display julian dates (days one-based, numbered from January 1). -y Display a calendar for the current year. A single parameter specifies the year (1 - 9999) to be displayed; 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. If no parameters are specified, the current month's calendar is displayed. A year starts on Jan 1. The Gregorian Reformation is assumed to have occurred in 1752 on the 3rd of September. By this time, most countries had recognized the reforma- tion (although a few did not recognize it until the early 1900's.) Ten days following that date were eliminated by the reformation, so the cal- endar for that month is a bit unusual. HISTORY A cal command appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX. BSD April 28, 1995 BSD So, the calendar for September 1752 is broken on purpose :-) --- |
