NAME

seq - print a numeric sequence

SYNOPSIS

    seq [OPTIONS] LAST
    seq [OPTIONS] FIRST LAST
    seq [OPTIONS] FIRST INCR LAST

DESCRIPTION

seq writes a list of numbers to standard output separated by a newline character. If only LAST is provided the sequence starts from 1 and the increment is 1. LAST may be negative, in which case the sequence starts from 1 with the increment of -1.

When only FIRST and LAST are specified the increment will be either 1 or -1 based on whether FIRST is greater. Sequences are inclusive of FIRST and LAST, so "seq 3 3" results in the sequence "3".

When an increment is needed other than 1 or -1, the INCR argument should be used. Zero is not a valid increment. Positive numbers may optionally include a '+' prefix. Floating point numbers may be entered in decimal notation (e.g. 0.2223).

OPTIONS

The following options are available:

-f FORMAT

Set a printf format specifier instead of the default '%g'

-s STRING

Separate each number with STRING instead of the newline character

BUGS

Corrupt printf format specifiers may be entered.
