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 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.  FORMAT must be suitable
       for printing one argument of type `double'; it defaults to %.PRECf if FIRST, INCREMENT, and LAST are all fixed point dec-
       imal numbers with maximum precision PREC, and to %g otherwise.
