XCAL_CAL(1)						      General Commands Manual						       XCAL_CAL(1)

NAME

       xcal_cal - interface to calendar(1) for xcal

SYNOPSIS

       xcal_cal [ -d directory ] [ -f file ] [ -m ] [ -# ]

DESCRIPTION

       Xcal_cal reads through the files created by xcal(1) and creates a file suitable for use by calendar(1).	By default, the files are found in
       a directory named ``Calendar'' in the user's home directory; an alternate directory may be specified with the -d flag.

       Output goes by default into a file named ``.xcal'' in the user's home directory; it may be overridden with the -f flag.	In both cases,	if
       the  argument  given begins with a slash (`/'), then it will be taken as a full path name, not as a path relative to the user's home direc-
       tory.  If the argument begins with the two character sequence `./' then it will be taken relative to the current directory.  This last form
       is primarily intended for use while debugging.

       The -m flag directs that multi-line entries in xcal files be collected in their entirety.  By default, only the first line is copied.

SEE ALSO

       xcal(1),xcalev(1),xcalpr(1)
