cal: Display date of Easter (Western Christian churches) in a given year.
$ ncal -e ${year}
try on your machine

The command "ncal -e ${year}" is used to display the calendar for a specific year in the terminal using the utility "ncal". Here's how it works: - "ncal" is a command-line utility in Linux and Unix-based systems that prints the calendar for the current month by default, along with highlighting the current day.

  • The "-e" option is used to display the Julian dates (number of days since January 1st).
  • "${year}" is a placeholder representing the year for which you want to see the calendar. You need to replace "${year}" with the actual year value when executing the command. For example, if you want to display the calendar for the year 2022, you would use the command: ncal -e 2022 This would show the calendar for the year 2022 along with the corresponding Julian dates.
