.TH SEQ 1 .SH NAME seq \- print sequences of numbers .SH SYNOPSIS .B seq [ .B -w ] [ .BI -f format ] [ .I first [ .I incr ] ] .I last .SH DESCRIPTION .I Seq prints a sequence of numbers, one per line, from .I first (default 1) to as near .I last as possible, in increments of .I incr (default 1). The loop is: .sp .EX for(val = min; val <= max; val += incr) print val; .EE .sp The numbers are interpreted as floating point. .PP Normally integer values are printed as decimal integers. The options are .TP "\w'\fL-f \fIformat\fLXX'u" .BI -f format Use the .IR print (2)-style .I format .IR print for printing each (floating point) number. The default is .LR %g . .TP .B -w Equalize the widths of all numbers by padding with leading zeros as necessary. Not effective with option .BR -f , nor with numbers in exponential notation. .SH EXAMPLES .TP .L seq 0 .05 .1 Print .BR "0 0.05 0.1" (on separate lines). .TP .L seq -w 0 .05 .1 Print .BR "0.00 0.05 0.10" . .SH SOURCE .B /sys/src/cmd/seq.c .SH BUGS Option .B -w always surveys every value in advance. Thus .L seq -w 1000000000 is a painful way to get an `infinite' sequence.
