## Calendar Command Syntax

&newline;∅

Calendar offers the capability to look up, insert, and delete appointments through a terminal emulator command-line interface.

- To view your appointments on a particular date, use the `dtcm_lookup` command.

- To insert an appointment and set the Start, End, and What field values, use the `dtcm_insert` command.

- To delete appointments from your calendar, use the `dtcm_delete` command.

- To start Calendar from the command line, use the `dtcm` command.

- To create an appointment and save it in a file, use the `dtcm_editor` command. You can then drag the appointment file from File Manager, for example, to Calendar.

- To start the Calendar daemon from the command line, use the `rpc.cmsd` command. You must be logged in as root to do this.
