Usage:
% java -jar rabinfingerprint.jar -h
  Prints this message

% java -jar rabinfingerprint.jar -polygen n
  Generates a new irreducible polynomial of degree n. N must be less than 62. 53 is a good choice.
  
  Output is:
  [polynomial]

% java -jar rabinfingerprint.jar -p xxxxxx file.test
  Generates the fingerprint using the rabin fingerprint method using the specified irreducible
  polynomial (in hexadecimal) on the specified file.
  
  Output for fingerprints are:
  [fingerprint 0] [file 0]
  [fingerprint 1] [file 1]
  [fingerprint 2] [file 2]
  ...

% cat file.test | java -jar rabinfingerprint.jar
  Generates the fingerprint of stdin using the rabin fingerprint method using a randomly generated
  irreducible polynomial.
  
  Output is:
  [fingerprint of stdin]
  
% java -jar rabinfingerprint.jar -hand n file.test
  Generates the handprint of the file using the rabin fingerprint method. The handprint contains
  the sorted fingerprints of chunks of the file. The file is chunked by using a 13-bit bitmask
  test (== 0) on a 48-byte sliding window fingerprint of the file. 
  
  Output for fingerprint is the first "n" fingers of the handprint:
  [finger 0]
  [finger 1]
  [finger 2]
     ...
  [finger n]
