-m This option instructs pw to attempt to create the user's
home directory. While primarily useful when adding a new
account with useradd, this may also be of use when moving
an existing user's home directory elsewhere on the filesys-
tem. The new home directory is populated with the contents
of the skeleton directory, which typically contains a set
of shell configuration files that the user may personalize
to taste. When -m is used on an account with usermod,
existing configuration files in the user's home directory
are not overwritten from the skeleton files.
