I don't know if this was an oversight or an overzealous interpretation of POSIX. Just in case, I'll address the POSIX possibility. POSIX description for cal(1) says: If only the year operand is given, cal shall produce a calendar for all twelve months in the given calendar year. It also says that cal(1) has no options, so in that context if an option is given then it should be expected to override POSIX behavior. Before patched all of these command displayed a full year: cal -1 2020 cal -3 2020 cal -n6 2020 Patched the number of months options are honored. This patch also fixes the -1 option which was a no-op.
