createhomedir provides several options for
creating and populating home directories.
-s- creates home directories for server home paths only (default).
-c- creates home directories for local home paths only.
-b- creates home directories for both server and local home paths.
-a- creates home directories for users defined in all directory domains of the
server's search path.
-l- creates home directories for users defined in the local directory
domain.
-L- causes the created home directory to be localized.
-n
directoryDomainName- creates home directories for users defined in a specific directory domain
in the server's search path.
-u
username- creates a home directory for a specific user defined in the domain(s)
identified in the -a, -l, or -n parameter. If you omit the -a, -l, and -n
parameters when you use the -u parameter, -a is assumed.
-i- reads username list from standard input and creates specified home
directories. Each username should be on its own line.
-h- usage help.

When using the -a option, search limits of various directory
servers (such as Open Directory or Active Directory) can prevent all
possible home directories from being created. In this case, you may need to
specify the usernames explicitly.
