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 forcalandncalis 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]
calonly supportsh,jandyarguments
ncalsupports same arguments pluswoption you seek and many more
