cal -w does not work
With the standard terminal when I type
cal -w
I get a usage description indicating that 'cal' did not recognize the '-w'
but the '-w' is described in 'info cal' documentation. Is there a setting that enables this?

@steeldriver that is true, in that the man page forcal
andncal
is the same page and it is up to the OP to realize that both commands are discussed and not all options are available to both commands.

Typing cal -w
in the terminal shows extra arguments supported by cal
and even more extra arguments supported by ncal
:
$ cal -w
Usage: cal [general options] [-hjy] [[month] year]
cal [general options] [-hj] [-m month] [year]
ncal [general options] [-bhJjpwySM] [-s country_code] [[month] year]
ncal [general options] [-bhJeoSM] [year]
General options: [-NC31] [-A months] [-B months]
For debug the highlighting: [-H yyyy-mm-dd] [-d yyyy-mm]
cal
only supportsh
,j
andy
arguments
ncal
supports same arguments plusw
option you seek and many more

There is no setting to change.
cal
and ncal
share documentation. The -w option is available only for ncal
This is explained in the 'usage' error you receive when you try to use -w with cal
.
If you wish, feel free to file a bug report against the 'bsdmainutils' package with recommended clarification to the documentation.
