I wouldn't be quite so sure. The manpage says:
If month is specified as a decimal number, it may be followed by the letter ‘f’
or ‘p’ to indicate the following or preceding month of that number,
respectively.
This is not exactly very clear. The progam seems to interpret this by showing
the
same month in the following/preceding year:
cal -m9:
September 2014
So Mo Di Mi Do Fr Sa
1 2 3 4 5 6
7 8 9 10 11 12 13
14 15 16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26 27
28 29 30
cal -m9p:
September 2013
So Mo Di Mi Do Fr Sa
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 21
22 23 24 25 26 27 28
29 30
Do you have any evidence that it should display August instead? Or in other
words, what needs fixing, the code or the documentation?
