    Yes, "man useradd":

           -m The user's home directory will be created if it does not exist.
                  The files contained in skeleton_dir will be copied to the home
                  directory if the -k option is used, otherwise the files contained
                  in /etc/skel will be used instead. Any directories contained in
                  skeleton_dir or /etc/skel will be created in the user's home
                  directory as well. The -k option is only valid in conjunction
                  with the -m option. The default is to not create the directory
                  and to not copy any files.
