Seq

The seq command shows arithmetic sequences.

= Usage = For the GNU Coreutils version: seq [OPTION]... [FIRST [INCREMENT]] LAST

= Options = -f --format=FORMAT uses the same syntax as printf -s --separator=STRING (defaults to \n) -w --equal-width pads output with leading zeroes

= Examples = seq -s "" 10 12345678910

seq -ws ' ' 2 10 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10

seq .5 -1 -2 0.5 -0.5 -1.5

= Provided by = This command occurs in the GNU Coreutils where a man page can also be found. Many Linux systems, however, are using a different version. The current author has not yet tracked this down.

Later: as Ubuntu (and probably debian) uses the GNU Coreutils version, the options and examples are for that version.
