NAME

       seq - print sequences of numbers

SYNOPSIS

       seq [ -w ] [ -fformat ] [ first [ incr ] ] last

DESCRIPTION

       Seq prints a sequence of numbers, one per line, from first (default 1) to as near last as possible, in increments of incr (default 1).  The
       loop is:

	 for(val = min; val <= max; val += incr) print val;

       The numbers are interpreted as floating point.

       Normally integer values are printed as decimal integers.  The options are

       -fformat   Use the print(3)-style format print for printing each (floating point) number.  The default is

       -w	  Equalize the widths of all numbers by padding with leading zeros as necessary.  Not effective with option -f, nor  with  numbers
		  in exponential notation.

EXAMPLES

       seq 0 .05 .1
	      Print 0 0.05 0.1 (on separate lines).

       seq -w 0 .05 .1
	      Print 0.00 0.05 0.10.

SOURCE

       /src/cmd/seq.c

BUGS

       Option -w always surveys every value in advance.  Thus seq -w 1000000000 is a painful way to get an `infinite' sequence.

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: 
)

       -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.
       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.
