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. By default, print group quotas for all groups the user
belongs to.
-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.
-u
- Print user quotas. This is the default.
-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 optional
user argument with the -u
flag
to view quotas for other users. Non-super-users can use the optional
group argument with the -g
flag to view only the limits of groups they belong to.
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.
The quota
command appeared in
4.2BSD.
