-.SH NAME
-jot \- print sequential or random data
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B jot [
-options
-.B ] [
-\fRreps \fB[\fP begin \fB[\fP end \fB[\fP s \fB] ] ] ]\fP
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I Jot
-is used to print out increasing, decreasing, random,
-or redundant data, usually numbers, one per line.
-The
-.I options
-are understood as follows.
-.IP \fB\-r\fP
-Generate random data instead of sequential data, the default.
-.IP \fB\-b\fP\ word
-Just print
-.I word
-repetitively.
-.IP \fB\-w\fP\ word
-Print
-.IR word
-with the generated data appended to it.
-Octal, hexadecimal, exponential, ASCII, zero padded,
-and right-adjusted representations
-are possible by using the appropriate
-.IR printf (3)
-conversion specification inside
-.IR word ,
-in which case the data are inserted rather than appended.
-.IP \fB\-c\fP
-This is an abbreviation for \fB\-w %c\fP.
-.IP \fB\-s\fP\ string
-Print data separated by
-.IR string .
-Normally, newlines separate data.
-.IP \fB\-n\fP
-Do not print the final newline normally appended to the output.
-.IP \fB\-p\fP\ precision
-Print only as many digits or characters of the data
-as indicated by the integer
-.IR precision .
-In the absence of
-.BR \-p ,
-the precision is the greater of the precisions of
-.I begin
-and
-.IR end .
-The
-.B \-p
-option is overridden by whatever appears in a
-.IR printf (3)
-conversion following
-.BR \-w .
-.PP
-The last four arguments indicate, respectively,
-the number of data, the lower bound, the upper bound,
-and the step size or, for random data, the seed.
-While at least one of them must appear,
-any of the other three may be omitted, and
-will be considered as such if given as
-.BR \- .
-Any three of these arguments determines the fourth.
-If four are specified and the given and computed values of
-.I reps
-conflict, the lower value is used.
-If fewer than three are specified, defaults are assigned
-left to right, except for
-.IR s ,
-which assumes its default unless both
-.I begin
-and
-.I end
-are given.
-.PP
-Defaults for the four arguments are, respectively,
-100, 1, 100, and 1, except that when random data are requested,
-.I s
-defaults to a seed depending upon the time of day.
-.I Reps
-is expected to be an unsigned integer,
-and if given as zero is taken to be infinite.
-.I Begin
-and
-.I end
-may be given as real numbers or as characters
-representing the corresponding value in ASCII.
-The last argument must be a real number.
-.PP
-Random numbers are obtained through
-.IR random (3).
-The name
-.I jot
-derives in part from
-.IR iota ,
-a function in APL.

-The command
-.IC
-jot 21 \-1 1.00
-.NC
-prints 21 evenly spaced numbers increasing from \-1 to 1.
-The ASCII character set is generated with
-.IC
-jot \-c 128 0
-.NC
-and the strings xaa through xaz with
-.IC
-jot \-w xa%c 26 a
-.NC
-while 20 random 8-letter strings are produced with
-.IC
-jot \-r \-c 160 a z | rs \-g 0 8
-.NC
-Infinitely many
-.IR yes 's
-may be obtained through
-.IC
-jot \-b yes 0
-.NC
-and thirty
-.IR ed (1)
-substitution commands applying to lines 2, 7, 12, etc. is
-the result of
-.IC
-jot \-w %ds/old/new/ 30 2 \- 5
-.NC
-The stuttering sequence 9, 9, 8, 8, 7, etc. can be
-produced by suitable choice of precision and step size,
-as in
-.IC
-jot 0 9 \- \-.5
-.NC
-and a file containing exactly 1024 bytes is created with
-.IC
-jot \-b x 512 > block
-.NC
-Finally, to set tabs four spaces apart starting
-from column 10 and ending in column 132, use
-.IC
-expand \-\`jot \-s, \- 10 132 4\`
-.NC
-and to print all lines 80 characters or longer,
-.IC
-grep \`jot \-s "" \-b . 80\`
-.NC
