CDE


NAME

  dtcm_lookup - look up appointments from the calendar database


SYNOPSIS

  dtcm_lookup [-c calendar] [-d date] [-v view]


OPTIONS

  The following options are available:

  -c calendar
      Specify the name of the target calendar. Calendar names typically take
      the form user@hostname, where user is a user's login name and hostname
      is the host machine name. An example is felix@cat. If no target
      calendar is specified, the calendar defaults to the current user at the
      current host machine.

  -d date
      Specify the date for the look up query. The date is specified using the
      form mm/dd/yy, where mm, dd and yy are the two-digit month, day and
      year modulo 100, respectively. Certain other references such as
      ``today'', ``Tuesday'', ``tomorrow'' etc. are correctly calculated. If
      no date is specified, date defaults to today's date.

  -v view
      Specify the view span of appointments to display. The view option-
      argument can be:

      day	  Display all appointments for the given date (see -d
		  option).

      week	  Display the full week that contains the given date,
		  starting with Sunday.

      month	  Display the entire month that contains the given date.

  If the view option-argument is not specified, the viewing range defaults to
  the view range specified by the user's dtcm options sheet. If the user has
  not specified a range in his or her options sheet, it defaults to the day
  value.


OPERANDS

  None


DESCRIPTION

  The dtcm_lookup utility is the non-GUI interface to the CDE calendar and
  appointment services. It is used to look up appointments from the calendar
  database via the RPC daemon rpc.cmsd(1m). Each component of the calendar
  entry is specified using one of the command-line options. The current list
  of appointments for the specified date (see the -d and -v options) is
  displayed.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

  The following environment variables affect the execution of dtcm_lookup:

  LANG
      Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are
      unset or null. If LANG is unset or null, the corresponding value from
      the implementation-specific default locale will be used. If any of the
      internationalization variables contains an invalid setting, the utility
      behaves as if none of the variables had been defined.

  LC_ALL
      If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the
      other internationalization variables.

  LC_MESSAGES
      Determine the locale that is used to affect the format and contents of
      diagnostic messages written to standard error and informative messages
      written to standard output.

  NLSPATH
      Determine the location of message catalogues for the processing of
      LC_MESSAGES.


EXIT STATUS

  The following exit values are returned:
