|
|
counts from 0 to N-1, producing N lines of output. |
| 17 |
|
|
If multiple arguments are given, |
| 18 |
|
|
.I cnt |
| 19 |
|

| 26 |
|
|
is most useful in conjunction with |
| 27 |
|
|
.I rcalc(1) |
| 28 |
|
|
to produce array values. |

|
|
To create a 3 by 5 array: |
| 31 |
|
|
.IP "" .2i |
| 32 |
|
|
cnt 3 5 |
| 33 |

|
|
.IP "" .2i |
| 36 |
|
|
cnt -s 52 |
| 37 |
|
|
