Is there any way to find and create multiple users in Linux

Question

Want to create multiple user in Linux, but first need to check user already exists or not,if not exist the user get created.

Some Linux distributions have adduser or useradd commands. See eg useradd(8) and passwd(5) — Basile Starynkevitch, Oct 13 '20 at 04:22
And, more importantly, which information about those users do you have, and in in what form is it presented? — tink, Oct 13 '20 at 04:47
If not a duplicate, this question already have many answer! Try man adduser in a console, in your system, and have look at https://superuser.com/questions/547966/whats-the-difference-between-adduser-and-useradd — F. Hauri - Give Up GitHub, Oct 13 '20 at 07:19
Does this answer your question? What's the difference between "adduser" and "useradd"? — karel, Oct 14 '20 at 02:17

The command to add a new user is distribution dependent and also the question states how does the Masoom check if a user exists before creating. This partly answers the question. – fswings Oct 22 '20 at 20:20
