Jcal is a command-line utility that outputs calendar information in the Persian (Jalali) calendar system, similar to the standard UNIX cal command. It provides accurate date conversions and calendar displays, making it essential for users in Iran and other regions that use the Jalali calendar. The tool supports both Gregorian-to-Jalali and Jalali-to-Gregorian conversions.

  • Supports monthly and yearly calendar views
  • Lightweight and scriptable
Use Cases:

  • System administration in Persian-speaking regions
Alternatives:
  • cal – Standard UNIX cal only supports Gregorian calendar
