NAME
seq - print sequences of numbers
SYNOPSIS
seq [-w] [-ppicture] [ first [ incr ] ] last
DESCRIPTION
Seq prints the sequence of numbers, one per line, from first (default
1) to last, inclusive, in increments of incr (default 1). The numbers
are interpreted as floating point.
The default output format is to round each number to the nearest inte‐
ger. This may be overridden by specifying a picture that is an example
of the desired format. For example, the option -p10.00 results in num‐
bers printed to two decimal places. Leading zeroes in the picture are
preserved in the output.
The option -w causes the output lines to have constant width, by pad‐
ding short numbers with leading zeroes, after the minus sign for nega‐
tive numbers.
BUGS
Pictures involving exponents don't work.
