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 omitted
     INCREMENT defaults to 1 even when LAST is smaller than FIRST.  The sequence
     of numbers ends when the sum of the current number and INCREMENT would  be-
     come  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, INCREMENT and LAST may be NaN.
     FORMAT must be suitable for printing one argument of type 'double'; it  de-
     faults to %.PRECf if FIRST, INCREMENT, and LAST are all fixed point decimal
     numbers with maximum precision PREC, and to %g otherwise.
