.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility checks the current directory for a file named
|
|
.Pa calendar
|
|
and displays lines that begin with either today's date
|
|
or tomorrow's.
|
|
On the day before a weekend (normally Friday), events for the next
|
|
three days are displayed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl A Ar num
|
|
Print lines from today and the next
|
|
.Ar num
|
|
days (forward, future).
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Process the ``calendar'' files of all users and mail the results
|
|
to them.
|
|
This requires super-user privileges.
|
|
.It Fl B Ar num
|
|
Print lines from today and the previous
|
|
.Ar num
|
|
days (backward, past).
|
|
.It Fl F Ar friday
|
|
Specify which day of the week is ``Friday'' (the day before the
|
|
weekend begins).
|
|
Default is 5.
|
|
.It Fl f Pa calendarfile
|
|
Use
|
|
.Pa calendarfile
|
|
as the default calendar file.
|
|

For test purposes only: set date directly to argument values.
|
|
.It Fl l Ar longitude , Fl U Ar UTC-offset
|
|
Only one is needed:
|
|
Perform lunar and solar calculations from this longitude or from
|
|
this UTC offset.
|
|
If neither is specified, the calculations will be based on the
|
|
difference between UTC time and localtime.
|
|
.It Fl W Ar num
|
|
Print lines from today and the next
|
|
.Ar num
|
|
days (forward, future).
|
|
Ignore weekends when calculating the number of days.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh FILE FORMAT
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To handle calendars in your national code table you can specify
|
|
.Dq LANG=<locale_name>
|
|
in the calendar file as early as possible.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To handle the local name of sequences, you can specify them as:
|
|
.Dq SEQUENCE=<first> <second> <third> <fourth> <fifth> <last>
|
|
in the calendar file as early as possible.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The names of the following special days are recognized:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 123456789012345 -compact
|
|
.It Easter
|
|
Catholic Easter.
|
|
.It Paskha
|
|
Orthodox Easter.
|
|
.It NewMoon
|
|
The lunar New Moon.
|
|
.It FullMoon
|
|
The lunar Full Moon.
|
|
.It MarEquinox
|
|
The solar equinox in March.
|
|
.It JunSolstice
|
|
The solar solstice in June.
|
|
.It SepEquinox
|
|
The solar equinox in September.
|
|
.It DecSolstice
|
|
The solar solstice in December.
|
|
.It ChineseNewYear
|
|
The first day of the Chinese year.
|
|
.El
|
|
These names may be reassigned to their local names via an assignment
|
|
like
|
|
.Dq Easter=Pasen
|
|
in the calendar file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Other lines should begin with a month and day.
|
|
They may be entered in almost any format, either numeric or as character
|
|
strings.
|
|
If the proper locale is set, national month and weekday
|
|
names can be used.
|
|
A single asterisk (``*'') matches every month.
|
|
A day without a month matches that day of every week.
|
|
A month without a day matches the first of that month.
|
|
Two numbers default to the month followed by the day.
|
|
Lines with leading tabs default to the last entered date, allowing
|
|
multiple line specifications for a single date.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The names of the recognized special days may be followed by a
|
|
positive or negative integer, like:
|
|
.Dq Easter+3
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq Paskha-4 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Weekdays may be followed by ``-4'' ...\& ``+5'' (aliases for
|
|
last, first, second, third, fourth) for moving events like
|
|
``the last Monday in April''.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
By convention, dates followed by an asterisk are not fixed, i.e., change
|
|
from year to year.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Day descriptions start after the first <tab> character in the line;
|
|
if the line does not contain a <tab> character, it is not displayed.
|
|
If the first character in the line is a <tab> character, it is treated as
|
|
a continuation of the previous line.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The ``calendar'' file is preprocessed by
|
|
.Xr cpp 1 ,
|
|
allowing the inclusion of shared files such as lists of company holidays or
|
|
meetings.
|
|
If the shared file is not referenced by a full pathname,
|
|
.Xr cpp 1
|
|
searches in the current (or home) directory first, and then in the
|
|
directory
|
|
.Pa /usr/share/calendar .
|
|
Empty lines and lines protected by the C commenting syntax
|
|
.Pq Li /* ... */
|
|
are ignored.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
A
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command appeared in
|
|
.At v7 .
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
Chinese New Year is calculated at 120 degrees east of Greenwich,
|
|
which roughly corresponds with the east coast of China.
|
|
For people west of China, this might result that the start of Chinese
|
|
New Year and the day of the related new moon might differ.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The phases of the moon and the longitude of the sun are calculated
|
|
against the local position which corresponds with 30 degrees times
|
|
the time-difference towards Greenwich.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The new and full moons are happening on the day indicated: They
|
|
might happen in the time period in the early night or in the late
|
|
evening.
|
|
It doesn't indicate that they are starting in the night on that date.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Because of minor differences between the output of the formulas
|
|
used and other sources on the Internet, Druids and Werewolves should
|
|
double-check the start and end time of solar and lunar events.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility does not handle Jewish holidays.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There is no possibility to properly specify the local position
|
|
needed for solar and lunar calculations.
