OS X ncal command

If you wish to generate a calendar on an Apple system running the OS X operating system at a command line interface (CLI), e.g., within a terminal window, you can use the ncal command to display a calendar. If you enter the command with no parameters, it will display a calendar for the current month

$ ncal
    July 2016
Mo     4 11 18 25
Tu     5 12 19 26
We     6 13 20 27
Th     7 14 21 28
Fr  1  8 15 22 29
Sa  2  9 16 23 30
Su  3 10 17 24 31

If you wish to display the calendar for another month, you can specify the month on the command line by putting the month and year after the command. E.g., to display a calendar for February of 20216, the command below could be used. The command ncal february 2016 would also work.

$ ncal 2 2016
    February 2016
Mo  1  8 15 22 29
Tu  2  9 16 23
We  3 10 17 24
Th  4 11 18 25
Fr  5 12 19 26
Sa  6 13 20 27
Su  7 14 21 28
