       wmclockmon-cal [-h] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

       wmclockmon-cal is a program that displays a calendar and TODO list with wmclockmon.

       A  calendar/TODO  list can contain special lines that will be taken as alarms for wmclockmon. An alarm line MUST begin with an @, then con-
       tain the time (hours and minutes un 24h format) and, at least, the message, such as :

       @ 09:20 Prepare for RDV hairdresser at 9:30...

OPTIONS

       This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is  included
       below.

       -h, --help
	      show help text and exit.

       -v, --version
	      show program version and exit.

FILE

       wmclockmon-cal  uses  files in ~/.wmclockmoncal/. Each file contain a day's TODO list. Calendar files are all in form of yyyy-mm-dd. Yearly
       files are in form of XXXX-mm-dd and monthly files are in form of XXXX-XX-dd. There are currently no weekly files since weekly alarms are in
