*** Indivisible ***
|
|
===================
|
|
Indivisible is an optimized prime number generator written in Rust.
|
|
|
|
# Building
|
|
----------
|
|
To build the project you will require the Rust compiler and build
|
|
system, `cargo`. At which point you simply run `cargo build` in the root
|
|
directory of the project. To create an optimized release build append
|
|
the `--release` flag to the previous command.
|
|
|
|
# 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
|
