+    iterations to perform. When the value is `0` (zero), a number of checks

+    random input. Care must be used when selecting a number of checks. Refer

+* `callback` {Function}
+  * `err` {Error} Set to an {Error} object if an error occured during check.
+  * `result` {boolean} `true` if the candidate is a prime with an error
+    probability less than `0.25 ** options.checks`.

+If `options.add` and `options.rem` are set, the prime will satisfy the
+condition that `prime % add = rem`. The `options.rem` is ignored if
+`options.add` is not given. If `options.safe` is `true`, `options.add`
