try on your machine

The command "icalBuddy --formatOutput --separateByCalendar eventsToday" is used to retrieve and display events happening today, separated by calendars, using iCalBuddy.

iCalBuddy is a command-line utility for macOS that interacts with the macOS Calendar app (previously known as iCal) to retrieve information about events and tasks.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "icalBuddy": This is the executable command used to run iCalBuddy.
  • "--formatOutput": This flag tells iCalBuddy to format the output in a specific way. It ensures that the output is presented in a readable and well-organized format.
  • "--separateByCalendar": This flag instructs iCalBuddy to separate the events today based on the calendars they belong to. Each calendar will have its own section in the output, making it easier to distinguish and manage events from different calendars.
  • "eventsToday": This parameter tells iCalBuddy to retrieve the events happening today from the calendars.

In summary, running this command will display the events scheduled for today, organized by the calendars they belong to. This can be helpful for quickly checking your schedule or managing multiple calendars.
