NAME

       cal - print calendar

SYNOPSIS

       cal [ month ] [ year ]

DESCRIPTION

       Cal  prints a calendar.  Month is either a number from 1 to 12, a lower
       case month name, or a lower case three-letter prefix of a  month  name.
       Year  can  be  between 1 and 9999.  If either month or year is omitted,
       the current month or year is used.  If only one argument is given,  and
       it  is a number larger than 12, a calendar for all twelve months of the
       given year is produced; otherwise a calendar  for  just  one  month  is
       printed.  The calendar produced is that for England and her colonies.

BUGS

       The  year  is always considered to start in January even though this is
       historically naive.

       Beware that refers to the early Christian era, not the 20th century.
