    The answer to the question is reading source code.

    1. Let's consider users-admin executable which is used in Ubuntu MATE.

      It is a part of gnome-system-tools package.

      Its source code is located on GitHub.

      So you have to read source code in the users folder to find what you want to find.

    2. Also we can consider gnome-control-center's user-accounts applet for GNOME sHell.

      It is a part of gnome-control-center package.

      Here is its source code or better here. You can read it too.
