  • "${username1 username2 ---}": This is a placeholder for the usernames you want to search for. You can replace "${username1 username2 ---}" with the actual usernames you want to search for. You can provide multiple usernames separated by spaces.
  • "--folderoutput": This is an option or flag used to specify that the output should be saved in a specific directory.
  • "${path-to-directory}": This is a placeholder for the path to the directory where you want to save the output. You need to replace "${path-to-directory}" with the actual path to the directory.
