List primes up to 100
primes 2 100

说明
primes generates and prints all prime numbers within a specified numeric range. Given a start and stop value, it outputs one prime per line, making it easy to pipe into other commands for counting, filtering, or further processing. This classic BSD utility is available on macOS natively and on Linux as part of the bsdgames package. It uses an efficient sieve algorithm for fast generation of primes even for large ranges.
