Displaying calendar on linux terminal

We can use the cal command in the linux terminal to display the calendar of the month in the terminal itself.

Example :

$ cal



We can see the calendar of the month with the current date highlighted.

We can avoid highlighting of the current day using the the option -h $ cal -h



We can also display the calendar of any year we want by passing the option -y followed by the year.

Example:

$ cal -y 1980



We make the calendar weeks to appear in tow using the command ncal

$ ncal
