luserdel(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to luserdel(1) from the General Commands Manual ✨ — this is the command that deletes a user. like, the official description is literally “Delete an user,” and we respect the grammar chaos. 💅


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

luserdel [OPTION]... user

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Deletes the user with name user. That’s the whole vibe. No cap. 🦋


💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -G, --dontremovegroup — by default, the user’s primary group is removed if it has the group name user (that’s the user’s private group, iykyk). This option disables that behavior, so the group is not removed. 🫶
  • -i, --interactive — asks all questions when connecting to the user database, even if default answers are set up in libuser configuration. it’s giving “we’re doing this the long way, bestie.” 💬
  • -r, --removehome — removes the user’s home directory and mail spool after deleting the user. so it’s not just deleting the account, it’s clearing out the whole room too. 🧹

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

The exit status is 0 on success, and nonzero on error. periodt. 👑
