SEQ(1)			     General Commands Manual			  SEQ(1)

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  (float-
		ing 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.
