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.

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

       -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 omitted INCREMENT defaults to 1 even
       when LAST is smaller than FIRST.  The sequence of numbers ends when the sum of  the  current  number  and
       INCREMENT  would  become greater than LAST.  FIRST, INCREMENT, and LAST are interpreted as floating point
       values.  INCREMENT is usually positive if FIRST is smaller than LAST, and INCREMENT 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  numbers  with  maximum
       precision PREC, and to %g otherwise.
