How does he/she want to use the USB stick?
If it is for Mac OS my inclination is to use the disk utility
(Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility) on the Mac and format the USB
stick. It's a GUI not a CLI.

But to make a USB stick if the intention is to move data between
Macintosh and Windows then use Windows and format it to FAT32.
