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
       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.  INCREMENT must not be 0; none
       of FIRST, INCREMENT and LAST may be NaN.  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.
