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
numbers are interpreted as floating point.
Normally integer values are printed as decimal integers. The options
are
-fformat Use the print(2)-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.

BUGS
Option -w always surveys every value in advance. Thus seq -w
1000000000 is a painful way to get an `infinite' sequence.
