.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility checks the current directory for a file named
.Pa calendar
and displays lines that fall into the specified date range.
On the day before a weekend (normally Friday), events for the next
three days are displayed.
.Pp
The following options are available:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl A Ar num
Print lines from today and the next
.Ar num
days (forward, future).
.It Fl a
Process the ``calendar'' files of all users and mail the results
to them.
This requires super-user privileges.
.It Fl B Ar num
Print lines from today and the previous
.Ar num
days (backward, past).
.It Fl D Ar moon|sun
Print UTC offset, longitude and moon or sun information.
.It Fl d
Debug option: print current date information.
.It Fl F Ar friday
Specify which day of the week is ``Friday'' (the day before the
weekend begins).
Default is 5.
.It Fl f Pa calendarfile
Use
.Pa calendarfile
as the default calendar file.
.It Fl l Ar longitude
Perform lunar and solar calculations from this longitude.
If neither longitude nor UTC offset is specified, the calculations will
be based on the difference between UTC time and localtime.
If both are specified, UTC offset overrides longitude.
.It Xo Fl t
.Sm off
.Ar dd
.Op . Ar mm Op . Ar year
.Sm on
.Xc
For test purposes only: set date directly to argument values.
.It Fl U Ar UTC-offset
Perform lunar and solar calculations from this UTC offset.
If neither UTC offset nor longitude is specified, the calculations
will be based on the difference between UTC time and localtime.
If both are specified, UTC offset overrides longitude.
.It Fl W Ar num
Print lines from today and the next
.Ar num
days (forward, future).
Ignore weekends when calculating the number of days.
.El
.Sh FILE FORMAT
To handle calendars in your national code table you can specify
.Dq LANG=<locale_name>
in the calendar file as early as possible.
.Pp
To handle the local name of sequences, you can specify them as:
.Dq SEQUENCE=<first> <second> <third> <fourth> <fifth> <last>
in the calendar file as early as possible.
.Pp
The names of the following special days are recognized:
.Bl -tag -width 123456789012345 -compact
.It Easter
Catholic Easter.
.It Paskha
Orthodox Easter.
.It NewMoon
The lunar New Moon.
.It FullMoon
The lunar Full Moon.
.It MarEquinox
The solar equinox in March.
.It JunSolstice
The solar solstice in June.
.It SepEquinox
The solar equinox in September.
.It DecSolstice
The solar solstice in December.
.It ChineseNewYear
The first day of the Chinese year.
.El
These names may be reassigned to their local names via an assignment
like
.Dq Easter=Pasen
in the calendar file.
.Pp
Other lines should begin with a month and day.
They may be entered in almost any format, either numeric or as character
strings.
If the proper locale is set, national month and weekday
names can be used.
A single asterisk (``*'') matches every month.
A day without a month matches that day of every week.
A month without a day matches the first of that month.
Two numbers default to the month followed by the day.
Lines with leading tabs default to the last entered date, allowing
multiple line specifications for a single date.
.Pp
The names of the recognized special days may be followed by a
positive or negative integer, like:
.Dq Easter+3
or
.Dq Paskha-4 .
.Pp
Weekdays may be followed by ``-4'' ...\& ``+5'' (aliases for
last, first, second, third, fourth) for moving events like
``the last Monday in April''.
.Pp
By convention, dates followed by an asterisk are not fixed, i.e., change
from year to year.
.Pp
Day descriptions start after the first <tab> character in the line;
if the line does not contain a <tab> character, it is not displayed.
If the first character in the line is a <tab> character, it is treated as
a continuation of the previous line.
.Pp
The ``calendar'' file is preprocessed by
.Xr cpp 1 ,
allowing the inclusion of shared files such as lists of company holidays or
meetings.
If the shared file is not referenced by a full pathname,
.Xr cpp 1
searches in the current (or home) directory first, and then in the
directory
.Pa /usr/share/calendar .
Empty lines and lines protected by the C commenting syntax
.Pq Li /* ... */
are ignored.
.Pp

.Sh COMPATIBILITY
The
.Nm
program previously selected lines which had the correct date anywhere
in the line.
This is no longer true, the date is only recognized when it occurs
at the beginning of a line.

.Sh HISTORY
A
.Nm
command appeared in
.At v7 .
.Sh NOTES
Chinese New Year is calculated at 120 degrees east of Greenwich,
which roughly corresponds with the east coast of China.
For people west of China, this might result that the start of Chinese
New Year and the day of the related new moon might differ.
.Pp
The phases of the moon and the longitude of the sun are calculated
against the local position which corresponds with 30 degrees times
the time-difference towards Greenwich.
.Pp
The new and full moons are happening on the day indicated: They
might happen in the time period in the early night or in the late
evening.
It doesn't indicate that they are starting in the night on that date.
.Pp
Because of minor differences between the output of the formulas
used and other sources on the Internet, Druids and Werewolves should
double-check the start and end time of solar and lunar events.
.Sh BUGS
The
.Nm
utility does not handle Jewish holidays.
.Pp
There is no possibility to properly specify the local position
needed for solar and lunar calculations.
