LOOP(1)								       LOOP(1)

NAME
       loop -  prints to stdout a series of numbers from `start' to `end'

SYNOPSIS
       loop [ -o ] [ -x ]

DESCRIPTION
       loop prints to stdout a series of numbers from `start' (arg 1) to `end'
       (arg 2), with optional increment (arg 3) and  zero-padded  field	 width
       (arg  4).   Hex (-x) or octal (-o) output formats are available.	 Nega‐
       tive numbers are allowed, and a negative `increment' does the  expected
       thing.

OPTIONS
       -o     Output numbers in octal

       -x     Output numbers in hexadecimal
