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
		  (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
       /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.
