# The Calendar and the Diary

Emacs provides the functions of a desk calendar, with a diary of planned or past events. To enter the calendar, type `M-x calendar`; this displays a three-month calendar centered on the current month, with point on the current date. With a numeric argument, as in `C-u M-x calendar`, it prompts you for the month and year to be the center of the three-month calendar. The calendar uses its own buffer, whose major mode is Calendar mode.

`Mouse-2` in the calendar brings up a menu of operations on a particular date; `C-Mouse-3` brings up a menu of commonly used calendar features that are independent of any particular date. To exit the calendar, type `q`. See section `Calendar' in The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual, for customization information about the calendar and diary.
