51 utility prints a sequence of numbers, one per line
58 as possible, in increments of
69 All numbers are interpreted as floating point.
71 Normally integer values are printed as decimal integers.
75 utility accepts the following options:
82 to print each number. Only the
90 conversion characters are valid, along with any optional
91 flags and an optional numeric minimum field width or precision.
94 can contain character escape sequences in backslash notation as
105 can contain character escape sequences in backslash notation as
113 to terminate sequence of numbers.
116 can contain character escape sequences in backslash notation as
119 This option is useful when the default separator
123 Equalize the widths of all numbers by padding with zeros as necessary.
124 This option has no effect with the
127 If any sequence numbers will be printed in exponential notation,
128 the default conversion is changed to
134 utility exits 0 on success and non-zero if an error occurs.
