Not documents as such, but it's worth prowling through the tip harvester
and picking up the collected nuggets of wisdom supplied by the
community:

<tip author="Garrett Coakley" type="*nix 'cal' command">
Most *nix systems come with the 'cal' command which is a simple command
line calendar. If you call it without any arguments it outputs the
current month.
[garrett at cincinnati] garrett $ cal
January 2003
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8 9 10 11
[snip]
You can also specify a particular month/year by calling it like so (Oct
2005)
[garrett at cincinnati] garrett $ cal 10 2005
October 2005
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
1
2 3 4 5 6 7 8
[snip]
'cal' also comes with a very handy Julian date switch, so for instances,
if you wanted to find out how many days will have elapsed in the year on
the first day of October:
[garrett at cincinnati] garrett $ cal -j 10 2003
October 2003
Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat
274 275 276 277
