NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION OPTIONS BUGS AUTHOR COPYRIGHTNAME
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.
