| =head1 NAME |
| |
| openssl-prime, |
| prime - compute prime numbers |
| |
| =head1 SYNOPSIS |
| |
| B<openssl prime> |
| [B<-help>] |
| [B<-hex>] |
| [B<-generate>] |
| [B<-bits>] |
| [B<-safe>] |
| [B<-checks>] |
| [I<number...>] |
| |
| =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| |
| The B<prime> command checks if the specified numbers are prime. |
| |
| If no numbers are given on the command line, the B<-generate> flag should |
| be used to generate primes according to the requirements specified by the |
| rest of the flags. |
| |
| =head1 OPTIONS |
| |
| =over 4 |
| |
| =item [B<-help>] |
| |
| Display an option summary. |
| |
| =item [B<-hex>] |
| |
| Generate hex output. |
| |
| =item [B<-generate>] |
| |
| Generate a prime number. |
| |
| =item [B<-bits num>] |
| |
| Generate a prime with B<num> bits. |
| |
| =item [B<-safe>] |
| |
| When used with B<-generate>, generates a "safe" prime. If the number |
| generated is B<n>, then check that B<(n-1)/2> is also prime. |
| |
| =item [B<-checks num>] |
| |
| Perform the checks B<num> times to see that the generated number |
| is prime. The default is 20. |
