  • \$\begingroup\$ Which shell? with coreutils? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 11, 2024 at 5:15
  • \$\begingroup\$ Hello @qwr Those are external tools. GNU Core Utils provides seq since 1.13 shell utilities release ; but it's available under other Unixes too. In fact, it appeared in Version 8 AT&T UNIX first, then NetBSD 3.0, and was ported to FreeBSD 9.0. It's also part of the native Win32 ports. (to be followed) \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 14, 2024 at 10:55
  • \$\begingroup\$ (continuation) The alternative jot first appeared in 4.2BSD and is available under most GNU/Linux too as specific package: athena-jot for Debian based, outils-jot for Alpine.. It's fancier than seq, and all implementations share the same options. (end) \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 14, 2024 at 11:10
