quota

QUOTA(1)						      General Commands Manual							  QUOTA(1)

NAME

       quota - display disk usage and limits

SYNOPSIS

       quota [ -F format-name ] [ -guvs | q ]
       quota [ -F format-name ] [ -uvs | q ] user
       quota [ -F format-name ] [ -gvs | q ] group

DESCRIPTION

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

       quota reports the quotas of all the filesystems listed in /etc/mtab.  For filesystems that are NFS-mounted a call to the rpc.rquotad on the
       server machine is performed to get the information.

OPTIONS

       -F format-name
	      Show quota 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)

       -g     Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a member.  The optional

       -u     flag is equivalent to the default.

       -v     will display quotas on filesystems where no storage is allocated.

       -s     flag will make quota(1) try to choose units for showing limits, used space and used inodes.

       -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.

DIAGNOSTICS

       If quota exits with a non-zero status, one or more filesystems are over quota.

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	   default filesystems
