The s6-seq program

s6-seq prints a sequence of numbers.

Interface

     s6-seq [ -w ] [ -s separator ] limits

• limits can be one, two or three arguments.
  • Three arguments are interpreted as first, increment and last, in this order.
  • Two arguments are interpreted as first and last, and increment defaults to 1.
  • One argument is interpreted as last, and first and increment both default to 1.
• s6-seq prints all unsigned integers from first to last inclusive, with a step of increment, with a newline after each integer. It then exits 0.

Options

• -w : fixed width. The numbers will all be printed with the same width; smaller numbers will have leading 0 characters.
• -s sep : print sep after each number. Default is a newline. If sep is the empty string, a null character will be printed.

Notes

s6-seq is similar to the GNU seq program. However, it does not handle negative numbers, floating point numbers or printf-style formatting.
