name="DESCRIPTION"
>DESCRIPTION</a></h1>

<p>The <b>primes</b> utility prints primes in ascending order,
one per line,
starting at or above <i>start</i> and continuing until,
but not including <i>stop</i>.
The <i>start</i> value must be at least 0 and not greater than stop.
The <i>stop</i> value must not be greater than 4294967295.
The default value of <i>stop</i> is 4294967295.</p>

<p>When the primes utility is invoked with no arguments,
<i>start</i> is read from standard input.
<i>stop</i> is taken to be 4294967295.
The <i>start</i> value may be preceded by a single <code lang='und' xml:lang='und'>+</code>.
The <i>start</i> value is terminated by a non-digit character (such as a newline).</p>
