Answer:

Used the command syntax; awk -F":" '{ print "username: " $<number location> "\t\tuid:" $<number location> }' <target folder>

Step-by-step explanation:

Linux operating system is a fast open-source computer platform for programmers and network administrators. Its system is arranged in a hierarchical tree structure with the root represented as "/" (for absolute path).

The passwd is a folder in the Linux OS that holds the login details of all users in the system network. The 'awk' is one of the commands used to get information from a file in a folder. It prints out the result by specifying the location of the values (like the username and user id) as a variable (with prefix '$') and then the target folder.
