NAME
mhc - Message Harmonized Calendaring system
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
mhc
file format.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
FIELDS
Mhc file format is based on STD11/RFC822: Standard for the format
of ARPA Internet text messages. In mhc file, the following
extra header fields are used.
X-SC-Day:
Date of event in format yyyymmdd. You can specify multiple date
with space separated like:
X-SC-Day: 19990409 19990413
which means April 9th 1999 and April 13th 1999.
X-SC-Time:
Time of event in format
hh:mm-hh:mm
or
hh:mm.
For event which has no meanings about time, you can leave it empty
in this field.
X-SC-Duration:
Period of event in
yyyymmdd-yyyymmdd.
You can omit start date or end date, like "19991121-".
X-SC-Duration: is used only to limit date specified by
X-SC-Day: or X-SC-Cond, so you can't describe
event date only by X-SC-Duration:. If X-SC-Duration:
is empty, it means no limit.
X-SC-Cond:
Condition of event date by using following keyword.
00-31
