[-g] [-v |

DESCRIPTION
Quota displays users' disk usage and limits. By default
only the user quotas are printed.
Options:
-g- Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a member. The
optional
-uflag is equivalent to the default. -vquotawill display quotas on filesystems where no storage is allocated.-q- Print a more terse message, containing only information on filesystems where usage is over quota.
Specifying both -g and
-u displays both the user quotas and the group
quotas (for the user).
Only the super-user may use the -u flag
and the optional user argument to view the limits of
other users. Non-super-users can use the the -g flag
and optional group argument to view only the limits of
groups of which they are members.
The -q flag takes precedence over the
-v flag.
Quota reports the quotas of all the
filesystems listed in /etc/fstab. If
quota exits with a non-zero status, one or more
filesystems are over quota.
FILES
- quota.user
- located at the filesystem root with user quotas
- quota.group
- located at the filesystem root with group quotas
- /etc/fstab
- to find filesystem names and locations
