from man 8 adduser:
-f file
Get the list of accounts to create from file. If file is ``-'',
then get the list from standard input. If this option is speci-
fied, adduser will operate in batch mode and will not seek any
user input. If an error is encountered while processing an
account, it will write a message to standard error and move to
the next account. The format of the input file is described
below.
