NAME

       xcalpr - print xcal calendar entries

SYNTAX

       xcalpr [ -c ][ -x ][ -f file ][ -d dir ][ -u user ][ date-spec ]

DESCRIPTION

       Xcalpr  prints  the  contents  of the xcal files.  It is intended to be used in situations
       when you have no access to an X screen.  It can also be used to generate entries  for  the
       standard UNIX calendar program.

       With  no arguments, it prints any entries that exist for the next seven days.  The program
       also reads the contents of the seven daily files and prints them at the appropriate  point
       in the output stream.  Each line in the output is preceded by the day of the week, the day
       of the month, the month and the year.

       Xcalpr can be given a date specification to select months and years.   If  the  date  spec
       consists of just a year number, then all the data for that year is printed.  For example:
            xcalpr 1994
       will print all the data for 1994.  Several years can be specified.

       If  you give the name of a month, then the data for that month in the current year will be
       printed.  If the month is in the past, then the data for that  month  next  year  will  be
       printed.  For example, if
            xcalpr oct jan
       is typed in August, xcalpr will print October in the current year and January next year.

       You  can  select  a  particular  year  by adding the number after any months that you need
       printing:
            xcalpr oct nov 1994
       will print October and November in 1994.

       There are a couple of special `month' names.  The name rest will print the  data  for  the
       rest  of  the month, starting tomorrow.  The rest argument is not recognised if you give a
       year as a parameter.  If tomorrow happens to be the first day of the next month, then  all
       the  data  for  next  month  will  be printed.  The name next prints all the data for next
       month.

OPTIONS

       The -c option causes xcalpr to output lines  suitable  for  input  to  the  standard  UNIX
       calendar program.

       The  -d  switch  is  followed by a directory name and specifies an alterative location for
       your Calendar directory.  Your home directory is prepended if the name doesn't start  with
       a slash or a dot.

       The  -f  option is followed by a file name and xcalpr will write it's output to that file,
       rather than standard output.

       The -u option is followed by a user name and dumps their calendar files rather than yours.

       The -x option makes xcalev operate with  Calendar  files  that  are  compatible  with  the
       xcalendar program.
