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.

     -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.  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.
