systemd-sysusers

SYSTEMD-SYSUSERS(8)						 systemd-sysusers					       SYSTEMD-SYSUSERS(8)

NAME

       systemd-sysusers, systemd-sysusers.service - Allocate system users and groups

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-sysusers [OPTIONS...] [CONFIGFILE...]

       systemd-sysusers.service

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-sysusers creates system users and groups, based on the file format and location specified in sysusers.d(5).

       If invoked with no arguments, it applies all directives from all files found. If one or more filenames are passed on the command line, only
       the directives in these files are applied. If only the basename of a file is specified, all directories as specified in sysusers.d(5) are
       searched for a matching file. If the string "-" is specified instead of a filename, entries from the standard input of the process are
       read.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       --root=root
	   Takes a directory path as an argument. All paths will be prefixed with the given alternate root path, including config search paths.

       -h, --help
	   Print a short help text and exit.

       --version
	   Print a short version string and exit.

EXIT STATUS

       On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
