FACTOR(1)

📦 version 0.12.0, in arch rolling

💅 NAME 💅

okay so this is the manual page for factor, from the General Commands Manual — yes bestie, the one and only. It prints the prime factors of the NUMBER(s) you give it, and if you don't specify any, it literally just reads from standard input. iconic behaviour honestly 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

factor [OPTION]... [NUMBER]...

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. 🦋

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So what does it do? It prints the prime factors of the NUMBER(s) you hand it. That's the whole job, and it does it slayfully. 💅

And if you don't give it any numbers at all? No stress — it just reads from standard input instead. lowkey the most chill program in the whole suite fr fr. 😌

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

okay here's the menu, pick your fighter 👑

  • -h, --exponents — prints the factors in the form p^e instead of the plain repeated list. cute formatting upgrade, no cap. ✨
  • --help — prints help information. your classic "wait what does this do again" button. 🙈
  • -V, --version — prints the version. main character energy for the number nerds. 👑
  • [NUMBER] — the number(s) you want factored, bestie. leave it out and it'll read from standard input instead. 🍓
no cap, that's genuinely every option on this page — nothing hidden, nothing skipped. 💖
