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.
-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

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. FIRST, INCREMENT, and LAST are inter-
preted as floating point values. INCREMENT is usually posi-
tive 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.
