|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | The B<prime> command checks if the specified numbers are prime.
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | If no numbers are given on the command line, the B<-generate> flag should
|
|---|
| 24 | be used to generate primes according to the requirements specified by the
|
|---|
| 25 | rest of the flags.

|
|---|
| 29 | =over 4
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | =item [B<-help>]
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | Display an option summary.
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | =item [B<-hex>]
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | Generate hex output.
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | =item [B<-generate>]
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | Generate a prime number.
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | =item [B<-bits num>]
|
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 | Generate a prime with B<num> bits.
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | =item [B<-safe>]
|
|---|
| 48 |
|
|---|
| 49 | When used with B<-generate>, generates a "safe" prime. If the number
|
|---|
| 50 | generated is B<n>, then check that B<(n-1)/2> is also prime.
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 | =item [B<-checks num>]
|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 | Perform the checks B<num> times to see that the generated number
|
|---|
| 55 | is prime. The default is 20.
