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	 omit-
       ted  INCREMENT defaults to 1 even when LAST is smaller than FIRST.  The
       sequence	of numbers ends	when the sum of	the current number and	INCRE-
       MENT  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.	INCREMENT must not be 0; none of FIRST,	INCRE-
       MENT and	LAST may be NaN.  FORMAT must be suitable for printing one ar-
       gument 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.
