NAME

       cal - print calendar

SYNOPSIS

       [[month] year]

DESCRIPTION

       prints  a  calendar for the specified year.  If a month is also specified, a calendar just for that month is printed.  If neither is speci-
       fied, a calendar for the present month is printed.  year can be between 1 and 9999.  month is a decimal number between 1 and 12.  The  cal-
       endar produced is a Gregorian calendar.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

       For information about the UNIX Standard environment, see standards(5).

   Environment Variables
       determines  the locale to use for the locale categories when both and the corresponding environment variable (beginning with do not specify
       a locale.  If is not set or is set to the empty string, a default of "C" (see lang(5)) is used.

       determines the locale for interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters (e.g., single-  verses  multibyte  characters	in
       arguments and input files).

       determines the format and contents of the calendar.

       determines the timezone used to calculate the value of the current month.

       If  any	internationalization  variable	contains an invalid setting, behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C".  See
       environ(5).

   International Code Set Support
       Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.

EXAMPLES

       The command:

       prints the calendar for September, 1850 on the screen as follows:

       However, for UNIX Standard (see standards(5)), the output looks like below:

WARNINGS

       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.
