.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Calendar
|
|
checks the current directory for a file named
|
|
.Pa calendar
|
|
and displays lines that begin with either today's date
|
|
or tomorrow's.
|
|
On Fridays, events on Friday through Monday are displayed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Process the ``calendar'' files of all users and mail the results
|
|
to them.
|
|
This requires super-user privileges.
|
|
.It Fl A Ar num
|
|

|
|
.Ar num
|
|
days (forward, future)
|
|
|
|
.It Fl B Ar num
|
|
print lines from today and previous
|
|
.Ar num
|
|
days (backward, past)
|
|
.It Fl f Pa calendarfile
|
|
use
|
|
.Pa calendarfile
|
|
as default calendar file.
|
|
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Lines should begin with a month and day.
|
|
They may be entered in almost any format, either numeric or as character
|
|
strings.
|
|
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.
|
|
``Easter'', may be followed by an positive or negative integer, is
|
|
Easter for this year. Weekdays may be followed by ``-4'' ... ``+5'' (aliases
|
|
last, first, second, third, fourth) for moving events like
|
|
``the last Monday in April''
|
|
|
|
By convention, dates followed by an asterisk are not fixed, i.e., change
|
|
from year to year.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The ``calendar'' file is preprocessed by
|
|
.Xr cpp 1 ,
|
|
allowing the inclusion of shared files such as 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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Some possible calendar entries:
|
|
.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
|
|
#include <calendar.usholiday>
|
|
#include <calendar.birthday>
|
|
|
|
6/15 ... June 15 (if ambiguous, will default to month/day).
|
|
Jun. 15 ... June 15.
|
|
15 June ... June 15.
|
|
Thursday ... Every Thursday.
|
|
June ... Every June 1st.
|
|
