By: Strauss K in macos Tutorials on 2011-02-03
cal
and ncal
are two commands in Mac OS X that display a calendar in the terminal. cal
displays a simple calendar for the current month, while ncal
displays a more complex calendar with options to display different months and years.
Here are some examples:
To display the calendar for the current month, simply enter:
cal
This will display a simple calendar like this:
May 2023 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
To display the calendar for a specific month and year, use the -m
and -y
options with ncal
. For example, to display the calendar for January 2022, enter:
ncal -m 1 -y 2022
This will display a calendar like this:
January 2022 Mo 3 10 17 24 31 Tu 4 11 18 25 We 5 12 19 26 Th 6 13 20 27 Fr 7 14 21 28 Sa 1 8 15 22 29 Su 2 9 16 23 30
