DESCRIPTION

14       This command-line utility is optionally part of the mathomatic(1) pack‐
15       age.  It finds the  minimum  number  of  positive  integers  that  when
16       squared  and  added together, equal the given number.  There is a proof
17       that no more than 4 squares summed together are required  to  represent
18       any positive integer.
19
20       The  command  line  may contain positive integers, less than 2147483648
21       (2^31), to find the squares of, otherwise the program counts up from 0.
22       If  the number of squares is 2, this program displays all possible com‐
23       binations, otherwise it just displays the first combination it finds.
