+Note: The @var{format} string can only produce decimal numbers. If you
+want decimal numbers without exponent and without decimal point to be
+output, use the format @samp{%1.f}. If you want hexadecimal or octal
+output, use the command
+@code{printf @var{format}'\n' `seq -f %1.f @var{first} @var{step} @var{last}`}
+or the command
+@code{seq -f %1.f @var{first} @var{step} @var{last} | xargs -n 1000 printf @var{format}'\n'}
