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 omitted
INCREMENT defaults to 1 even when LAST is smaller than FIRST. The sequence of
numbers ends when the sum of the current number and INCREMENT 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 argument 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.
