diffrence between useradd and usermod
 
I am new user on linux os, i am very confused about adduser and usermod command, please help me to understand this

useradd adds an account, usermod modifies an account.

...and 'adduser' is commonly (dependent on distro) a front end dialog for useradd that walks you through the user creation process.

If you have typed this on google you might have got 100 pages explaining properly the difference

useradd itself says user-add--->to add user, just look after the switches used with useradd

usermod--->user-mod-----> to make modifications in user in the form of permission

I'll still advise you to use google for better results
