If you have the `primes(6)` tool (sometimes part of BSD Games) you can see
what of the output in the first N (say 15) lines are primes:
while read -r n ; do primes "$n" $((n + 1)) ; done < <((./august | head -n 15 ))
```sh
while read -r n ; do primes "$n" $((n + 1)) ; done < <((./august | head -n 15 ))
