How to get a list of user accounts using the command line in MySQL?

Question

I\'m using the MySQL command line utility and can navigate through a database. Now I need to see a list of user accounts. How can I do this?

I\'m using MySQL version

Answer 1

$>  mysql -u root -p -e 'Select user from mysql.user' > allUsersOnDatabase.txt

Executing this command on linux prompt will first ask for the password of mysql root user, on providing correct password it will print all the database users to the text file.
