<H1>NAME</H1>
quota - display disk usage and limits
<H1>SYNOPSIS</H1>
quota [
<B>-guv | q</B>
]
<BR>
quota [
<B>-uv | q</B>
] user
<BR>
quota [
<B>-gv | q</B>
] group
<H1>DESCRIPTION</H1>
<B>Quota</B>
displays users' disk usage and limits.
By default only the user quotas are printed.
<UL>
<LI>
<B>-g</B>
<BR>
Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a member.  The optional
<LI>
<B>-u</B>
<BR>
flag is equivalent to the default.
<LI>
<B>-v</B>
<BR>
will display quotas on filesystems where no storage is allocated.
<LI>
<B>-q</B>
<BR>
Print a more terse message, containing only information
on filesystems where usage is over quota.
</UL>
Specifying both
<B>-g</B>
and
<B>-u</B>
displays both the user quotas and the group quotas (for the user).
<P>
Only the super-user may use the
<B>-u</B>
flag and the optional
<B>user</B>
argument to view the limits of other users.  Non-super-users can use the the
<B>-g</B>
flag and optional
<B>group</B>
argument to view only the limits of groups of which they are members.
<P>
The
<B>-q</B>
flag takes precedence over the
<B>-v</B>
flag.
<P>
<B>Quota</B>
reports the quotas of all the filesystems listed in
<B>/etc/fstab.</B>
For filesystems that are NFS-mounted a call to the rpc.rquotad on
the server machine is performed to get the information. If
<B>quota</B>
exits with a non-zero status, one or more filesystems are over quota.
<H1>FILES</H1>
<B>quota.user</B>
 : located at the filesystem root with user quotas
<BR>
<B>quota.group</B>
 : located at the filesystem root with group quotas
<BR>
<B>/etc/fstab</B>
 : to find filesystem names and locations
