81 | Three parameters denote the day (1-31), month and year, and the day will be | |

85 | A year starts on Jan 1. The first day of the week is determined by the | |
86 | locale. | |
87 | .PP | |
88 | The Gregorian Reformation is assumed to have occurred in 1752 on the 3rd of | |
89 | September. By this time, most countries had recognized the reformation | |
90 | (although a few did not recognize it until the early 1900's). Ten days | |
91 | following that date were eliminated by the reformation, so the calendar for | |
92 | that month is a bit unusual. | |
93 | .SH HISTORY | |
94 | A cal command appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX. | |
95 | .SH AVAILABILITY | |
601d12fb KZ |
96 | The cal command is part of the util-linux package and is available from |
