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 (default: %g)

       -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 omit-
       ted 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.	 When
       given, the FORMAT argument must contain exactly	one  of	 the  printf-
       style, floating point output formats %e, %f, %g
