"-m" flag: This option ensures that a home directory is created for the user "kwame". By default, the home directory is typically created under the "/home" directory and named after the user.
"-s /bin/bash" flag: This option sets the login shell for the user "kwame" to "/bin/bash". The Bash shell is a popular and widely used command-line interface on GNU/Linux systems.
"-c 'Kwame Appiah'" flag: This option specifies the comment or description for the user "kwame". In this case, the comment is set to "Kwame Appiah".
"kwame" (without any preceding flag): This is the username for the new user account being created.
Overall, the command creates a new user account named "kwame" with a home directory, sets the login shell to Bash, and assigns the comment "Kwame Appiah" to the user account. The "sudo" prefix is used to execute the command with administrative privileges, typically requiring the user to provide their password before the command can be executed.
