quota(1M)


quota (generic) -- display a user's disk quota and usage on a filesystem

Synopsis

/usr/sbin/quota [-F FSType] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options] [username]

Description

quota displays users' disk usage and limits. Only a privileged user may use the optional username argument to view the limits of other users.

quota without options displays only warnings about mounted filesystems where quotas are turned on and usage is over quota. Remotely mounted filesystems which do not have quotas turned on are ignored.

username can be numeric, corresponding to the UID of a user.

Command options

-F
Specify the FSType on which to operate. The FSType should either be specified here or be determinable from /etc/vfstab by matching the inputfs (device) with an entry in the table.

-v
Echo the complete command line, but do not execute the command. The command line is generated by using the options and arguments provided by the user and adding to them information derived from /etc/vfstab. This option should be used to verify and validate the command line.

-o
Specify FSType-specific options.

Files

/etc/mnttab
list of currently mounted filesystems
