For your interest, a very useful command is 'apropos'

$ apropos user

Amongst other things, the output includes:

useradd (8)          - Create a new user or update default new user
information
userdel (8)          - Delete a user account and related files
usermod (8)          - Modify a user account

When you are looking for 'the command to do XXX', try apropos XXX.

'man apropos' for more information.

 HTH
