It will be hard to write proper regression tests if you can't properly specify what you want :-) > what confused me a little is the output of something like `ncal 10 2011`. > judging from ncal(1) i guessed the output to be October of 2011, yet the > output is all months from October 2011 to September 2012. Yeah, fixed. > i tried `ncal -m 10 2011` instead and the output was just the same. so what's > the right way to see the entry for lets say October 2011? > > another issue i'm having is the -m switch in combination with f and p. judging > from ncal(1) `ncal -m 3p` should output February 2010 and `ncal -m 3f` April > 2010. however instead of printing the previous and next month the previous and > next year gets printed. If I understand correctly: -m 1 gives this years January (which is 2010) -m 1p gives the previous January (which is 2010) -m 1f gives the next January (which is 2011) -m 9 gives this years September (which is 2010) -m 9p gives the previous September (which is 2009) -m 9f gives the next September (which is 2010) And now the tricky one: -m 3 gives this years March (which is 2010) -m 3p gives the previous March (which is 2009) -m 3f gives the next March (which is 2011) Edwin -- Edwin Groothuis Website: http://www.mavetju.org/ edwin@mavetju.org Weblog: http://www.mavetju.org/weblog/
