seq - print sequences of numbers seq [ -w ] [ -f format ] [ first [ incr ] ] last Seq prints a sequence of numbers, one per line, from first (default 1) to as near last as possible, in increments of incr (default 1). The loop is: .EX for(val = min; val <= max; val += incr) print val; The numbers are interpreted as floating point.

Normally integer values are printed as decimal integers. The options are

"\w'\fL-f format\fLXX'u" -f format Use the print (3)-style format print for printing each (floating point) number. The default is .LR %g .

-w Equalize the widths of all numbers by padding with leading zeros as necessary. Not effective with option -f , nor with numbers in exponential notation.

.L seq 0 .05 .1 Print "0 0.05 0.1" (on separate lines).

.L seq -w 0 .05 .1 Print "0.00 0.05 0.10" .

\*9/src/cmd/seq.c Option -w always surveys every value in advance. Thus .L seq -w 1000000000 is a painful way to get an `infinite' sequence.
