       sudoku_generator -s|--solve|-p|--print sudoku_dump

DESCRIPTION

       sudoku_generator  generates, solves and prints Number Place puzzles, so called Sudokus.	A Sudoku puzzle consists of 9 x 9 cells subdivided
       into 9 regions with 3 x 3 cells. The rules are simple. There have to be the numbers from 1 to 9 in every row, column and region.
