Initially, the manual page entry for the 'openssl cmd' command used to be available at 'cmd(1)'. Later, the aliases 'openssl-cmd(1)' was introduced, which made it easier to group the openssl commands using the 'apropos(1)' command or the shell's tab completion. In order to reduce cluttering of the global manual page namespace, the manual page entries without the 'openssl-' prefix have been deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0 and will be removed in OpenSSL 4.0.

|
|
|
openssl-prime - compute prime numbers
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
B<openssl prime>
|
|
[B<-help>]
|
|
[B<-hex>]
|
|
[B<-generate>]
|
|
[B<-bits>]
|
|
[B<-safe>]
|
|
[B<-checks>]
|
|
[I<number...>]
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The B<prime> command checks if the specified numbers are prime.
|
|
|
|
If no numbers are given on the command line, the B<-generate> flag should
|
|
be used to generate primes according to the requirements specified by the
|
|
rest of the flags.

|
=head1 OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item [B<-help>]
|
|
|
|
Display an option summary.
|
|
|
|
=item [B<-hex>]
|
|
|
|
Generate hex output.
|
|
|
|
=item [B<-generate>]
|
|
|
|
Generate a prime number.
|
|
|
|
=item [B<-bits num>]
|
|
|
|
Generate a prime with B<num> bits.
|
|
|
|
=item [B<-safe>]
|
|
|
|
When used with B<-generate>, generates a "safe" prime. If the number
|
|
generated is B<n>, then check that B<(n-1)/2> is also prime.
|
|
|
|
=item [B<-checks num>]
|
|
|
|
Perform the checks B<num> times to see that the generated number
|
|
is prime. The default is 20.
