49 utility prints a sequence of numbers, one per line
56 as possible, in increments of
67 All numbers are interpreted as floating point.
69 Normally integer values are printed as decimal integers.
73 utility accepts the following options:
92 conversion characters are valid, along with any optional
93 flags and an optional numeric minimum field width or precision.
96 can contain character escape sequences in backslash notation as
107 can contain character escape sequences in backslash notation as
115 to terminate sequence of numbers.
118 can contain character escape sequences in backslash notation as
121 This option is useful when the default separator

179 option does not handle the transition from pure floating point
180 to exponent representation very well.
183 command is not bug for bug compatible with the
