<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
The <B>prime</B> command checks if the specified numbers are prime.
<P>

<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="1">[<B>-help</B>]<DD>
Display an option summary.
<DT id="2">[<B>-hex</B>]<DD>
Generate hex output.
<DT id="3">[<B>-generate</B>]<DD>
Generate a prime number.
<DT id="4">[<B>-bits num</B>]<DD>
Generate a prime with <B>num</B> bits.
<DT id="5">[<B>-safe</B>]<DD>
When used with <B>-generate</B>, generates a ``safe'' prime. If the number
generated is <B>n</B>, then check that <B>(n-1)/2</B> is also prime.
<DT id="6">[<B>-checks num</B>]<DD>
Perform the checks <B>num</B> times to see that the generated number
is prime. The default is 20.
