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
       numbers are interpreted as floating point.

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

       -fformat   Use the print(2)-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

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