Description Wayne Pollock 2001-07-21 15:15:58 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (Win98; U)

Description of problem:
The man page synopsis for cal shows (and has since 6.1 at least) as:
cal [-mjy] [month [year]]
This is incorrect, it should be:
cal [-mjy] [[month] year]


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.man cal
2.cal 2000
3.cal 12
	
The man page reports that cal can be run with a month alone, or month and year as arguments.  Cal
actually allows a year alone, or month and year.  This can be seen by running the commands above.

Actual Results:  Got bad man page.

Expected Results:  Get good man page.
