NAME isprime - whether a small integer is prime SYNOPSIS isprime(x [,err]) TYPES x int err int return int DESCRIPTION Determine if x is is a small prime. This function will return 1 if x is a small prime. If x is even, this function will return 0. If x is negative or a small composite (non-prime), 0 will be returned. If x is a large positive odd value and the err argument is given, this function return err. If x is a large positive odd value and the err argument is not given, an error will be generated. Note that normally this function returns the integer 0 or 1. If err is given and x is a large positive odd value, then err will be returned.
