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.
