SEQ(Q)               Debian GNU/Linux manual               SEQ(Q)



NAME
       seq - prints a sequence of numbers

SYNOPSIS
       seq [OPTION]... [FIRST [STEP]] LAST...

DESCRIPTION
       This  manual  page  documents briefly the GNU seq command.
       This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux dis-
       tribution  (but may be used by others), because the origi-
       nal program does not have a manual page.  Instead, it  has
       documentation in the GNU Info format; see below.

       seq  prints  a sequence of numbers to standard output.  It
       prints the  numbers  from  FIRST  to  LAST  by  STEP.   By
       default,  FIRST  and  STEP  are both 1, and each number is
       printed on its own line.  All numbers can  be  reals,  not
       just integers.

OPTIONS
       The  programs  follow  the  usual GNU command line syntax,
       with long options starting with two dashes (`-').  A  sum-
       mary  of  options  are  included  below.   For  a complete
       description, see the Info files.

       -f FORMAT, --format=FORMAT
              Print all numbers using FORMAT; default `%g'.  FOR-
              MAT  must  contain  exactly  one of the standarding
              float output formats `%e', `%f', or `%g'.

       -s STRING, --separator=STRING
              Separate numbers with STRING; default is a newline.
              The output always terminates with a newline.

       -w, --equal-width
              Print  all  numbers with the same width, by padding
              with leading  zeroes.   (To  have  other  kinds  of
              padding, use `--format').

       --help Show summary of options.

       --version
              Show version of program.

SEE ALSO
       This  program is documented fully by Shell utilities: (sh-
       utils), GNU shell utilities, available via the  Info  sys-
       tem.
