You can use-- help to get help for these commands, such as:

~ $geth account list-- helplist [command options] [arguments...] Print a short summary of all accountsOPTIONS:-- datadir "/ home/bas/.ethereum" Data directory for the databases and keystore-- keystore Directory for the keystore (default = inside the datadir)

Create a new account
