🎀 GCAL(1) — the calendar girlies' manual page 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to Gcal, the group chat's favorite calendar program 💖

✨ NAME ✨

Gcal — a program for calculating and printing calendars. yes that's literally it and yes she eats 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gcal [[Option...] [%Date] [@File...]] [Command]

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so Gcal is a program that's similar to the standard calendar programs BSD-cal and calendar. iconic lineage fr fr 🫶

Gcal displays hybrid and proleptic Julian and Gregorian calendar sheets, respectively, for one month, three months or a whole year. it also displays eternal holiday lists for many countries around the globe 🌈, and she features a very powerful creation of fixed date lists that can be used for reminding purposes. Gcal can calculate various astronomical data and times of the Sun and the Moon for at pleasure any location — precisely enough for most civil purposes ✨. Gcal supports some other calendar systems too, for example the Chinese and Japanese calendar, the Hebrew calendar and the civil Islamic calendar. she's multilingual, multi-calendar, multitalented 💜

If Gcal is started without any options or commands, a calendar of the current month is displayed. default behavior, no notes, she just does it 😌

If the calendar of a definite year is wanted, the year must be fully specified,

e.g.:

gcal 94

displays a year calendar of the year 94, not of the year 1994. ⚠️ this is the classic trap bestie, do not come for me about it, she's telling you the truth:

if you want a definite year you have to fully specify it, okay?? 94 is year 94. periodt.

If two arguments are given in the command part, the first argument denotes the month and the second argument denotes the year. And in case any illegal commands are given running Gcal, the program will use internal defaults. she's not mad, she's just gonna do her own thing 🙈

👑 MORE PROGRAM INFORMATION 👑

you want more program info?? say less. start Gcal like this:

gcal -h
gcal -?
gcal --help

respectively,

gcal -hh
gcal -??
gcal --long-help[=ARG]|[=?]
gcal --usage[=ARG]|[=?]
