# Usage
|
||||||
|
-------
|
||||||
|
The purpose of Indivisible is to find the nth prime and all the primes
|
||||||
|
before it. The basic usage is `indivisible <n>` where `n` is the ordinal
|
||||||
|
of the prime you'd like to find. To display all primes before `n`, you
|
||||||
|
can run verbose mode by using the `--verbose` or simply `-v` option.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since Indivisible generates primes using previously computed primes, you
|
||||||
|
can also import prime numbers previously computed with the `--import` or
|
||||||
|
`-i` option. To store already computed primes you are expected to use
|
||||||
|
piping like any UNIX user would expect. Here is an example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# store first 100 primes in ./primes
|
||||||
|
indivisible -v 100 > ./primes
|
||||||
|
# appends next 400 primes
|
||||||
|
indivisible -i ./primes -v 500 >> ./primes
|
||||||
|
# display the 600th prime
|
||||||
|
indivisible -i ./primes 600
