man matho-primes (Commandes) - generate consecutive prime numbers

NAME

matho-primes - generate consecutive prime numbers

SYNOPSIS

matho-primes [start [stop]] ["pal" [base]]

DESCRIPTION

This program quickly computes any number of consecutive prime numbers using a memory efficient sieve algorithm and dumps them to standard output. Generates up to 19 digit primes. They are displayed one prime per line in ascending order.

A range may be specified on the command line, otherwise the starting number and the number of primes to output is prompted for. The range is "start" to "stop", inclusive, and "stop" must be greater than "start".

If "pal" is specified on the command line, only palindromic primes are displayed. The palindromic base may be specified, the default is base 10.
