+=head1 NAME
+
+openssl-prime,
+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.
