<h2>Command line options</h2>

Several options are available on the command line, they are:
<ul>
    <li><tt>--events</tt> Displays the events for the date
    specified (or today, if no date is specified).

    <li><tt>--from DATE</tt> Define the beginning of the range for
    the event display, or the startup day on the calenday views.
    By default, the event will span the whole day specified in
    DATE. 

    <li><tt>--to DATE</tt> Define the range end for the event
    display.  If this is not specified, it will default to the end
    of the day specified by the <tt>--from</tt> option.

    <li><tt>--file FILE</tt> Set the calendar to the FILE
    specified on the command line. 
</ul>

<p>

DATE is interpreted as being in the local time- zone, unless a
specific timezone is specified.  Examples of valid date specifications
include: "1 month ago",  "2 hours ago",  "400000 seconds ago",  "last
year", "last Monday",  "yesterday",  "a fortnight ago",  "3/31/92
