NAME

6       seq - print a sequence of numbers
7

SYNOPSIS

9       seq [OPTION]... LAST
10       seq [OPTION]... FIRST LAST
11       seq [OPTION]... FIRST INCREMENT LAST
12

DESCRIPTION

14       Print numbers from FIRST to LAST, in steps of INCREMENT.
15
16       -f, --format=FORMAT
17              use printf style floating-point FORMAT
18
19       -s, --separator=STRING
20              use STRING to separate numbers (default: \n)
21
22       -w, --equal-width
23              equalize width by padding with leading zeroes
24
25       --help display this help and exit
26
27       --version
28              output version information and exit
29
30       If  FIRST or INCREMENT is omitted, it defaults to 1.  That is, an omit‐
31       ted INCREMENT defaults to 1 even  when  LAST  is  smaller  than  FIRST.
32       FIRST,  INCREMENT,  and  LAST are interpreted as floating point values.
33       INCREMENT is usually positive if FIRST is smaller than LAST, and INCRE‐
34       MENT is usually negative if FIRST is greater than LAST.  FORMAT must be
35       suitable for printing one argument of type  `double';  it  defaults  to
36       %.PRECf  if FIRST, INCREMENT, and LAST are all fixed point decimal num‐
37       bers with maximum precision PREC, and to %g otherwise.
