| 3 | =head1 NAME |
| 4 | |
| 5 | openssl-prime, |
| 6 | prime - compute prime numbers |
| 7 | |
| 8 | =head1 SYNOPSIS |
| 9 | |
| 10 | B<openssl prime> |
| 11 | [B<-help>] |
| 12 | [B<-hex>] |
| 13 | [B<-generate>] |
| 14 | [B<-bits>] |
| 15 | [B<-safe>] |
| 16 | [B<-checks>] |
| 17 | [I<number...>] |
| 18 | |
| 19 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| 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. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | =head1 OPTIONS |
| 28 | |
| 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. |
