NAME
seq - print a sequence of numbers
SYNOPSIS
seq [OPTION]... LAST
seq [OPTION]... FIRST LAST
seq [OPTION]... FIRST INCREMENT LAST
DESCRIPTION
Print numbers from FIRST to LAST, in(1,8) steps of INCREMENT.
-f, --format=FORMAT
use printf(1,3,1 builtins) style floating-point FORMAT (default: %g)
-s, --separator=STRING
use STRING to separate numbers (default: \n)
-w, --equal-width
equalize width by padding with leading zeroes
--help display this help and exit(3,n,1 builtins)
--version
output version(1,3,5) information and exit(3,n,1 builtins)
If FIRST or INCREMENT is omitted, it defaults to 1. That is, an omit-
ted INCREMENT defaults to 1 even when LAST is smaller than FIRST.
FIRST, INCREMENT, and LAST are interpreted as floating point values.
INCREMENT is usually positive if(3,n) FIRST is smaller than LAST, and INCRE-
MENT is usually negative if(3,n) FIRST is greater than LAST. When given,
the FORMAT argument must contain exactly one of the printf-style,
floating point output formats %e, %f, %g
