The calendar command shows you what day it is on Discworld, and can also show you when a particular Discworld date is. Used with no arguments, it shows you the dates that will appear over the next seven real-world days.
Using the command
There are several available syntaxes:
calendar
calendar [the] <day> [of] <month> {Prime|prime|Secundus|secundus|1|2} <year>
calendar <month> {Prime|prime|Secundus|secundus|1|2} [the] <day> <year>
calendar [the] <day> [of] <month> {Prime|prime|Secundus|secundus|1|2}
calendar <month> {Prime|prime|Secundus|secundus|1|2} [the] <day>
calendar <start> <finish>
calendar <special day> <year>
calendar <days>
calendar today
calendar <special day>
The first option shows the Discworld dates that will appear over the next seven real-world days, and when.
The next four options show when a specified Discworld date will begin and end.
The sixth option shows the Discworld dates that will appear over the next n days, where n is a number you specify:
