'nu -A' question

I want to call the command
  nu -A  name realname uid gid shell pwd home reuse mh domain
to install new users from inside a program.

My problem is:

Can I get 'nu -A' to accept "*" as a password with the usual meaning,
i.e. login disabled?

Also, should 'reuse' and 'mh' be N/Y or 0/1?

Thanks.
