       setquota -b [ -rm ] [ -u | -g ] [ -F quotaformat ] -a | filesystem...

       setquota -t [ -m ] [ -u | -g ] [ -F quotaformat ] block-grace inode-grace -a | filesystem...

       setquota -T [ -m ] [ -u | -g ] [ -F quotaformat ] name block-grace inode-grace -a | filesystem...

DESCRIPTION
       setquota  is  a command line quota editor.  The filesystem, user/group name and new quotas for this filesystem can be specified on the com-
       mand line. Note that if a number is given in the place of a user/group name it is treated as an UID/GID.

       -r, --remote
	      Edit also remote quota use rpc.rquotad on remote server to set quota. This option is available only if  quota  tools  were  compiled
	      with enabled support for setting quotas over RPC.

       -m, --no-mixed-pathnames
	      Currently,  pathnames  of  NFSv4	mountpoints  are sent without leading slash in the path.  rpc.rquotad uses this to recognize NFSv4
	      mounts and properly prepend pseudoroot of NFS filesystem to the path. If you specify this option, setquota will  always  send  paths
	      with a trailing slash. This can be useful for legacy reasons but be aware that quota over RPC will stop working if you are using new
	      rpc.rquotad.

       -F, --format=quotaformat
	      Perform setting for specified format (ie. don't perform format autodetection).  Possible format names are: vfsold (version 1 quota),
	      vfsv0 (version 2 quota), rpc (quota over NFS), xfs (quota on XFS filesystem)

       -u, --user
	      Set user quotas for named user. This is the default.

       -g, --group
	      Set group quotas for named group.

       -p, --prototype=protoname
	      Use quota settings of user or group protoname to set the quota for the named user or group.

       -b, --batch
	      Read  information  to  set from stdin (input format is name block-softlimit block-hardlimit inode-softlimit inode-hardlimit ). Empty
	      lines and lines starting with # are ignored.

       -c, --continue-batch
	      If parsing of an input line in batch mode fails, continue with processing the next line.

       -t, --edit-period
	      Set grace times for users/groups. Times block-grace and inode-grace are specified in seconds.

       -T, --edit-times
	      Alter times for individual user/group when softlimit is enforced. Times block-grace and inode-grace are specified in seconds or  can
	      be string 'unset'.

       -a, --all
	      Go through all filesystems with quota in /etc/mtab and perform setting.

       To disable a quota, set the coresponding parameter to 0. To change quotas for several filesystems, invoke once for each filesystem.

       Only the super-user may edit quotas.

FILES
       aquota.user or aquota.group
			   quota file at the filesystem root (version 2 quota, non-XFS filesystems)
       quota.user or quota.group
			   quota file at the filesystem root (version 1 quota, non-XFS filesystems)
       /etc/mtab	   mounted filesystem table
