NAME
vcal - Display the data in a vcalendar or icalendar file
SYNOPSIS
vcal [options] <files>
DESCRIPTION
vcal parses a file for a vcalendar or icalendar record
and displays the selected fields from the record.
Normally, vcal uses the specified files as absolute or relative paths,
depending on how they are given on the command line. However, if the -mh
flag is given, the current MH mailbox is searched for the specified files.
The mhpath command is used to determine the absolute path to the files.
If a single dash is given as a filename, then the vcalendar data will be
read from standard input.
vcal takes options to allow selective display of the calendar data.
If no options are given, then it is as if the -start, -end,
and -summary options are given.
