💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, gather round — this is wmclockmon-cal, a whole calendar that you use with wmclockmon. that's the vibe. that's the whole job. ✨

This page lives in the User Commands part of the manual, and it's literally just a lil' quick rundown of the wmclockmon-cal command. Short, sweet, iconic. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

wmclockmon-cal [-h] [-v]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so real talk: this manual page documents wmclockmon-cal briefly. just the highlights. the main character energy. 👑

wmclockmon-cal is a program that displays a calendar and a TODO list with wmclockmon. that's it. that's the program. she's simple, she's useful, she slays. 💅

now here's the part you actually need to know, bestie: a calendar/TODO list can contain special lines that get treated as alarms for wmclockmon. and the rules are strict, no cap. 🚨

An alarm line MUST begin with an @, then contain the time (hours and minutes in 24h format) and, at least, the message. like this, fr fr:

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

see how it starts with the @? yeah. that's the whole secret. don't skip the @ or it's just gonna sit there being a regular line like 😭

✨ OPTIONS ✨

this program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). a summary of options is included below. yes, there are only two. she's lowkey minimal. 🌈

  • -h, --help — show help text and exit. the classic "wait what does this do again" button 🫶
  • -v, --version — show program version and exit. for when you need to know exactly which girl you're talking to 💜

🎀 FILE 🎀

wmclockmon-cal uses files in ~/.wmclockmoncal/. ✨

Each file contains a day's TODO list. one file, one day. no mixing, no chaos, we respect boundaries here. 🦋

Calendar files are all in the form of yyyy-mm-dd.

Yearly files are in the form of XXXX-mm-dd and monthly files are in the form of XXXX-XX-dd.

and there are currently no weekly files, because weekly alarms are in wmclockmon's configuration file. so don't go looking for them, bestie, they are not there 😭 periodt.
