Users and their storage usage

Hey, I'm trying to make a script that can list users and their storage usage in a file. Im trying to get it to where the format is:

User xxkbs
User2 xkb

and so on. So far I figured out how to get the users, but I cannot figure out how to get the storage usage per user.

This is what I have so far:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# This script displays a user friendly message that lists the top 10 users of
# storage on the system in human readable form.

awk -F ":" '{ print $1}' /etc/passwd > usersAndStorage

#add storage usage part here and append to file using tabs

while read line
do 
	user=$(echo "$line" | cut -f1)
	#add usage here so it will show in terminal
	echo $user
	echo
done <$1

Thanks a lot to anyone who can help.

quota

QUOTA(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  QUOTA(1)

NAME

     quota -- display disk usage and limits

SYNOPSIS

     quota [-ghu] [-v | -q]
     quota [-hu] [-v | -q] user
     quota [-gh] [-v | -q] group
     quota -d [-gh] [-v | -q]

DESCRIPTION

     quota displays users' disk usage and limits.  By default only the user quotas are printed.

     Options:

     -d      Query the kernel for default user or group quota instead of a specific user or group.

     -g      Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a member.  The optional -u flag is equivalent to the default.

     -h      Numbers are displayed in a human readable format.

     -q      Print a more terse message, containing only information on file systems where usage is over quota.

     -v      quota will display quotas on file systems where no storage is allocated.

     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 -g
     flag and optional group argument to view only the limits of groups of which they are members.

     Only the super-user may use the -d flag.

     The -q flag takes precedence over the -v flag.

     quota tries to report the quotas of all mounted file systems.  If the file system is mounted via NFS it will attempt to contact the
     rpc.rquotad(8) daemon on the NFS server.  If quota exits with a non-zero status, one or more file systems are over quota.
