Today is 2019-07-17 and I want gcal to show the calendar for the current month along with the iso week numbers for the respective weeks.

$ gcal --correct-parammeters

      July 2019
 Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su CW
  1  2  3  4  5  6  7 27
  8  9 10 11 12 13 14 28
 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 29
 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 30
 29 30 31             31

The correct iso week number for today can easily be confirmed with 

$ date --date="2019-07-17" +%V
29

With gcal %20190717 --starting-day=Monday I get the correct order of weekdays but no CW column.
Adding --with-week-number (or -K) gives:

     July 2019
Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su CW
 1  2  3  4  5  6  7 26
 8  9 10 11 12 13 14 27
15 16 17 18 19 20 21 28
22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29
29 30 31             30

where the week number is off by one.

There is also --iso-week-number=yes but no CW column is shown then

  • What is your gcal version? for mine (3.6.3) gcal --with-week-number --iso-week-number=yes produces a CW column with 27 for the first week - but then repeats 27 for the second week (and is off by one for the remainder). gcal --with-week-number --iso-week-number=yes --starting-day=1 appears to work "right" - perhaps this is related?

  • I misunderstood the documentation and thought --with-week-number and --iso-week-number=yes where exclusive and never tried both (there really should be an error message when using --iso-week-number without --with-week-number).
    I have the same gcal version (and the same behaviour for your first command). The second command works for me as well.
    If you turn it into an answer I will accept it.     – user2740 Jul 17 '19 at 16:55
