ical: Convert a Hirji date to a Gregorian date.
$ ical --hijri ${yyyymmdd}
try on your machine

The command "ical --hijri ${yyyymmdd}" is related to the iCal program, and it is used to display the Hijri (Islamic) date for a specified date provided as "yyyymmdd" format.

Here's a breakdown of the command and its components:

  • "ical": This is the name of the program or command that is being executed.
  • "--hijri": It is an option/flag provided to the "ical" command, indicating that we want to display the Hijri date.
  • "${yyyymmdd}": This is a placeholder representing a specific date in the "yyyymmdd" format. The user is expected to replace it with an actual date in that format.

For example, if you want to see the Hijri date for January 1, 2022, you would replace ${yyyymmdd} with 20220101. The complete command would be "ical --hijri 20220101".

After executing this command, the iCal program would display the corresponding Hijri date for the provided "yyyymmdd" date.
