jot(1)
is a shell command from BSD that can print a list of numbers. jot(1)
is convenient when a UNIX Shell program needs to iterate a range of numbers. Examples that use jot(1)
will not work with other Unix systems that are missing jot(1)
.
<lang bash># Example: this loop echoes Got 1, Got 2, Got 3. for i in `jot 3`; do echo Got $i done</lang>
The syntax is jot count begin end step
All four arguments are optional. A hyphen -
skips an argument. Here are some examples.
jot 5
prints 1 2 3 4 5.jot 5 10 20
prints 10 12 15 18 20.jot -p 2 5 10 20
prints 10.00 12.50 15.00 17.50 20.00.jot - 3 7 1
prints 3 4 5 6 7.jot - 7 3 -1
prints 7 6 5 4 3.
It has a few other features, like random numbers. For a manual page, see jot(1).
