jcal: Display a calendar for a specific month and year.
$ jcal ${year} ${month}
try on your machine

The given command "jcal ${year} ${month}" is a command-line command that utilizes the "jcal" command, which is typically used in Unix-like operating systems to display a Julian calendar.

Here's a breakdown of the elements in the command:

  • "jcal": This is the actual command that is used to display the Julian calendar. It is followed by the year and month parameters.

  • "${year}": This is a placeholder for the year parameter. The "$" symbol is used to denote a variable in a command-line context. The actual year value should be specified in place of "${year}" when using the command.

  • "${month}": This is a placeholder for the month parameter. Similar to the year parameter, the "$" symbol denotes a variable, so the actual month value should be specified in place of "${month}" when executing the command.

By substituting the appropriate values for "${year}" and "${month}", the command will generate and display the Julian calendar for the specified year and month.
