Hello everyone,

just noticed a funny behaviour of the cal program...

% cal -n2
Produces calendar for November and December.

% cal -n3
Produces calendar for October, November and December.

% cal -n4
Produces calendar for November, December, January and February.

I don't think it is the expected output. The version of cal is from
util-linux 2.27.

Thanks for your report, Evgenii.

The man page says:
       -n , --months number
              Display number of months, starting from the month containing the date.

So the problem is that
> cal -n 3
> cal --months 3

is acting as
> cal -3


Maybe the command line parser is getting a bit confused.
