edquota(1M)
edquota (generic) --
edit user quotas for file systems
Synopsis
edquota [-F FSType]
[-V]
[current_options]
[-o specific_options] username . . .
Description
edquota is a quota editor.
One or more users may be specified on the command line.
For each user a temporary file is created with an
ASCII
representation of the current disk quotas for that user
for each mounted ufs file system that has a quotas file,
and an editor is then invoked on the file.
The quotas may then be modified, new quotas added, and so on.
Upon leaving the editor,
edquota
reads the temporary file and modifies the binary quota files to reflect
the changes made.
The editor invoked is
vi(1)
unless the
EDITOR
environment variable specifies otherwise.
Only a privileged user may edit quotas.
In order for quotas to be
established on a file system, the root
directory of the file system must
contain a file, owned by root, called
quotas.
See
quotaon(1M)
for details.
