Hi, (retry sending without multipart/alternative)
Version: seq (GNU coreutils) 9.6; OS: Archlinux, x86-64
When adding `-w` parameter, we want numbers to be padded with leading
0s, e.g. this looks correct:
$ seq -w 0 5 10
00
05
10
However, the behaviour is perhaps incorrect when the last printed
number magnitude is lower than the last parameter, e.g:
$ seq -w 0 6 10
00
06
would probably be more correct with this output:
0
6
The manual makes no promise about this ("Print all numbers with the
same width, by padding with leading zeros"), but it's still a bit odd
to add a superfluous 0.
Also, it is especially confusing because, on the other hand, the
precision of the last parameter is ignored, as if it was just a bound
that played no role in formatting:
$ seq 0 5 10.00001
0
5
10
While
$ seq 0.0000 5 10
0.0000
5.0000
10.0000
Side note, a solution would also need to make sure that this still works:
$ seq -w 0 5 12
00
05
10
Thanks,
Nicolas
