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.
