Hello everyone,
just noticed a funny behaviour of the cal program...
% cal -n2
Produces calendar for November and December.
% cal -n3
Produces calendar for October, November and December.
% cal -n4
Produces calendar for November, December, January and February.
I don't think it is the expected output. The version of cal is from
util-linux 2.27.
Kind regards,
Jenya

Thanks for your report, Evgenii.
The man page says:
> -n , --months number
> Display number of months, starting from the month containing the date.
So the problem is that
> cal -n 3
> cal --months 3
is acting as
> cal -3
Maybe the command line parser is getting a bit confused.
