+[\fIoptions\fR] [[[\fIday\fR] \fImonth\fR] \fIyear\fR]

+.B cal
+displays a simple calendar. If no arguments are specified, the current
+month is displayed.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+\fB\-1\fR, \fB\-\-one\fR
+Display single month output.
+(This is the default.)
+.TP
+\fB\-3\fR, \fB\-\-three\fR
+Display prev/current/next month output.
+.TP
+\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-sunday\fR
+Display Sunday as the first day of the week.
+.TP
+\fB\-m\fR, \fB\-\-monday\fR
+Display Monday as the first day of the week.
+.TP
+\fB\-j\fR, \fB\-\-julian\fR
+Display Julian dates (days one-based, numbered from January 1).
+.TP
+\fB\-y\fR, \fB\-\-year\fR
+Display a calendar for the current year.
+.TP
+\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
+Display version information and exit.
+.TP
+\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
+Display help screen and exit.
+.SH PARAMETERS
+A single parameter specifies the year (1 - 9999) to be displayed; note the
+year must be fully specified:
+.B "cal 89"
+will not display a calendar for 1989.
+.PP
+Two parameters denote the month (1 - 12) and year.
+.PP
+Three parameters denote the day (1-31), month and year, and the day will be
+highlighted if the calendar is displayed on a terminal. If no parameters are
+specified, the current month's calendar is displayed.
+.PP
+A year starts on Jan 1. The first day of the week is determined by the
+locale.
+.PP
+The Gregorian Reformation is assumed to have occurred in 1752 on the 3rd of
+September. By this time, most countries had recognized the reformation
+(although a few did not recognize it until the early 1900's). Ten days
+following that date were eliminated by the reformation, so the calendar for
+that month is a bit unusual.
+.SH HISTORY
+A cal command appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+The cal command is part of the util-linux package and is available from
+ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
