+.Sh NAME
+.Nm usermod
+.Nd modify user login information
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl G Ar secondary-group
+.Op Fl c Ar comment
+.Op Fl d Ar home-dir
+.Op Fl e Ar expiry-time
+.Op Fl f Ar inactive-secs
+.Op Fl g Ar gid/name/=uid

+.Op Fl p Ar password
+.Op Fl s Ar shell
+.Op Fl u Ar uid
+.Op Fl v
+.Ar user
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility modifies user login information on the system.
+Default values for the user are taken from the information
+provided in the
+.Pa /etc/usermgmt.conf
+file.
+.Pp
+After setting any defaults, and then values from that file,
+the command line options are processed:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl G Ar secondary-group
+is the secondary group to which the user will be added in the
+.Pa /etc/group
+file.
+.It Fl c Ar comment
+is the comment field (also, for historical reasons known as the
+GECOS field) which will be added for the user, and typically will include
+the username, and, perhaps, contact information for the user.
+.It Fl d Ar home-directory
+is the home directory which will be created and populated for the user,
+should the -m option be specified.
+.It Fl e Ar secs-to-expiry
+provides the number of seconds since the epoch (UTC) at
+which the current password change expire. This
+can be used to implement password aging.
+A value of
+0 can be used to switch off this feature.
+The default value for this field is 0.
+See
+.Xr passwd 5
+for more details.
+This value can be preset for all users
+by using the
+.Ar expire
+field in the
+.Pa /etc/usermgmt.conf
+file - it has the format:
+.Ar expire <secs-to-expiry> .
+.It Fl g Ar gid/name/=uid
+gives the group name or identifier to be used for the new user's primary group.
+If this is
+.Ar "-g=uid" ,
+then a uid and gid will be picked which are both unique
+and the same, and a line added to
+.Pa /etc/group
+to describe the new group.
+This value can be preset for all users
+by using the
+.Ar gid
+field in the
+.Xr /usr/share/adduser/defaults
+file - it has the format:
+.Ar group <groupname/groupid/=uid> .
+.It Fl l Ar new-user
+gives the new user name.
+It must consist of alphanumeric characters, or the characters '.', '-' or '_'.
+.It Fl m
+moves the home directory from its old position to the new one.
+.It Fl o
+allows duplicate uids to be given.
+.It Fl p Ar password
+specifies an already-encrypted password for the new user.
+This password can then be changed by using the
+.Xr chpass 1
+utility.
+This value can be preset for all users
+by using the
+.Ar password
+field in the
+.Pa /etc/usermgmt.conf
+file - it has the format:
+.Ar password <encrypted-password> .
+.It Fl s Ar shell
+specifies the login shell for the new user.
+This value can be preset for all users
+by using the
+.Ar shell
+field in the
+.Xr /usr/share/adduser/defaults
+file - it has the format:
+.Ar shell <login-shell> .
+.It Fl u Ar uid
+specifies a new uid for the user.
+Boundaries for this value can be preset for all users
+by using the
+.Ar range
+field in the
+.Pa /etc/usermgmt.conf
+file - they have the format:
+.Ar range <starting-uid>..<ending_uid> .
+.It Fl v
+enables verbose mode - explain the commands as they are executed.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
