SEQ(1)                           User Commands                          SEQ(1)

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 steps of INCREMENT.

       -f, --format=FORMAT
              use printf style floating-point FORMAT

       -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

       --version
              output version information and exit

       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 FIRST is smaller than LAST, and INCRE-
       MENT is usually negative if FIRST is greater than LAST.  FORMAT must be
       suitable for printing one argument of type  `double';  it  defaults  to
       %.PRECf  if FIRST, INCREMENT, and LAST are all fixed point decimal num-
       bers with maximum precision PREC, and to %g otherwise.
