primes
utility prints primes in ascending order, one
per line, starting at or above start and continuing
until, but not including stop. The
start value must be at least 0 and not greater than
stop. The stop value must not be
greater than 3825123056546413050. The default value of
stop is 3825123056546413050.
When the primes
utility is invoked with no
arguments, start is read from standard input and
stop is taken to be 3825123056546413050. The
start value may be preceded by a single
‘+’. The start value is terminated by a
non-digit character (such as a newline). The input line must not be longer
than 255 characters.
When given the -d
argument,
primes
prints the difference between the current and
the previous prime.
When given the -h
argument,
primes
prints the prime numbers in hexadecimal.
primes
