## 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.

## 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.

## Exit status

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