DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

21       -help
22           Display an option summary.

24       -hex
25           Generate hex output.
26
27       -generate
28           Generate a prime number.
29
30       -bits num
31           Generate a prime with num bits.
32
33       -safe
34           When used with -generate, generates a "safe" prime. If the number
35           generated is n, then check that "(n-1)/2" is also prime.
36
37       -provider name
38       -provider-path path
39       -propquery propq
40           See "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7).
