NAME

6       openssl-prime, prime - compute prime numbers
7

SYNOPSIS

9       openssl prime [-help] [-hex] [-generate] [-bits] [-safe] [-checks]
10       [number...]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The prime command checks if the specified numbers are prime.
14
15       If no numbers are given on the command line, the -generate flag should
16       be used to generate primes according to the requirements specified by
17       the rest of the flags.
18

OPTIONS

20       [-help]
21           Display an option summary.
22
23       [-hex]
24           Generate hex output.
25
26       [-generate]
27           Generate a prime number.
28
29       [-bits num]
30           Generate a prime with num bits.
31
32       [-safe]
33           When used with -generate, generates a "safe" prime. If the number
34           generated is n, then check that (n-1)/2 is also prime.
35
36       [-checks num]
37           Perform the checks num times to see that the generated number is
38           prime.  The default is 20.
