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.
