SEQ (print a sequence of numbers)

(c) 2011-2015 Roman Piták roman@pitak.net

SYNOPSIS

seq [OPTION] LAST                  : print a sequence of numbers from 1 to LAST
seq [OPTION] FIRST LAST            : print a sequence of numbers from FIRST to LAST
seq [OPTION] FIRST INCREMENT LAST  : print a sequence of numbers from FIRST to LAST
                                     increment by INCREMENT

DESCRIPTION

Print numbers from FIRST to LAST, in steps of INCREMENT.

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

OPTIONS:

-f, --format=FORMAT                : use printf style FORMAT (default: %g)
-s, --separator=STRING             : use STRING to separate numbers (default: \\n)
-w, --equal-width                  : equalize width by padding with leading zeroes
-h, --help                         : display this help 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. 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.
