PROGRAM:
NAME
xcalev - load xcal calendar files with regular dates
SYNTAX
xcalev [ -r ][ -x ][ -f file ][ -d dir ][ year ]
DESCRIPTION
Xcalev is used to preload the calendar files for the xcal program with regular events in
your life. It reads lines from a file (usually called regular stored in your Calendar
directory. Each line in the file contains three fields separated by spaces or tabs, these
are: a month name, a day in the month and some text. For example:
December 25 Christmas
Dec 31 New Year's Eve
The order of the month and the day are optional, the program deduces the day by looking
whether the string contains an initial numeric character or not. The year defaults to the
current year unless the program is given a year number as an argument. This year cannot
be abbreviated to two digits because xcal
deals with years from year zero. There's a rough validity check on this.
The string from the data line is inserted in the appropriate file and will appear in your
xcal date strip. Nothing will happen if the string already exists in the file for that
day. This means that it's safe to run xcalev at any time, only the strings that have
altered in the regular file will be updated.
To help with entering the same event for a number of days in one month, you can give a day
range with a hyphen
Jan 16-21 Usenix SF
If you supply the -r option, xcalev will delete all the matching strings that it finds in
the appropriate daily file. So, if you want to make radical changes to the regular file,
you should run xcalev with the -r option to remove all the current entries from one year,
edit the regular file and run xcalev to reload things.
OPTIONS
The -r option makes xcalev delete rather than append entries.
The -x option makes xcalev operate with Calendar files that are compatible with the
xcalendar program.
The -f switch is followed by a filename gives an alternative name for the regular file.
If the filename does not start with a slash or a dot, then the name of your Calendar
directory will be prepended to it.
The -d switch is followed by a directory name and specifies an alterative location for
your Calendar directory. Your home directory is prepended if the name doesn't start with
a slash or a dot.
