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 posi‐
       tive 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	pre‐
       cision PREC, and to %g otherwise.
