mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Command line

./usertool -m <MODE> -p <PARAMETER> [-o <OUTPUT_DIR>] [-u <PATH_TO_USERSYAML_FILE> -g <PATH_TO_GROUPSYAML_FILE>]

There are several modes or functionalities usertool supports:

• BSD2LINUX: Create shadow,group,passwd,gshadow from master.passwd and group files
• FILTERSYSTEM: Extract system users/groups into locol (current working dir) group and (master.)passwd files
