Igor
$ mkpasswd --help
Usage: mkpasswd [OPTION]... [domain]
This program prints a /etc/passwd file to stdout
Options:
-l,--local print local user accounts
-c,--current print current account, if a domain account
-d,--domain print domain accounts (from current domain
if no domain specified)
[snip]
-u,--username username only return information for the specified user
