.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm factor , primes
|
|
.Nd factor a number, generate primes
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl h
|
|
.Op Ar number ...
|
|
.Nm primes
|
|
.Op Fl h
|
|

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility will factor positive integers.
|
|
When a number is factored, it is printed, followed by a
|
|
.Ql \&: ,
|
|
and the list of factors on a single line.
|
|
Factors are listed in ascending order, and are preceded by a space.
|
|
If a factor divides a value more than once, it will be printed more than once.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is invoked with one or more arguments, each argument will be factored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is invoked with no arguments,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
reads numbers, one per line, from standard input, until end of file or error.
|
|
Leading white-space and empty lines are ignored.
|
|
Numbers may be preceded by a single
|
|
.Ql + .
|
|
Numbers are terminated by a non-digit character (such as a newline).
|
|
After a number is read, it is factored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm primes
|
|
utility prints primes in ascending order, one per line, starting at or above
|
|
.Ar start
|
|
and continuing until, but not including
|
|
.Ar stop .
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar start
|
|
value must be at least 0 and not greater than
|
|
.Ar stop .
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar stop
|
|
value must not be greater than the maximum.
|
|
The default and maximum value of
|
|
.Ar stop
|
|
is 4294967295 on 32-bit architectures
|
|
and 18446744073709551615 on 64-bit ones.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When the
|
|
.Nm primes
|
|
utility is invoked with no arguments,
|
|
.Ar start
|
|
is read from standard input and
|
|
.Ar stop
|
|
is taken to be the maximum.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar start
|
|
value may be preceded by a single
|
|
.Ql + .
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar start
|
|
value is terminated by a non-digit character (such as a newline).
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It "negative numbers aren't permitted"
|
|
.It "illegal numeric format"
|
|
.It "start value must be less than stop value"
|
|
.It "Result too large"
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
cannot handle the
|
|
.Dq "10 most wanted"
|
|
factor list,
|
|
.Nm primes
|
|
will not get you a world record.
