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.  FORMAT must be suitable for printing  one	 argu‐
       ment  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.
