quota(1M)

quota -- display a user's disk quota and usage on a filesystem (generic)

Synopsis

/usr/sbin/quota [-F FSType] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options] [username]

Description

quota displays users' disk usage and limits. Only a privileged user may use the optional username argument to view the limits of other users. quota is supported on the ufs and vxfs FStypes.

quota without options displays only warnings about mounted filesystems where quotas are turned on and usage is over quota. Remotely mounted filesystems which do not have quotas turned on are ignored.

username can be numeric, corresponding to the UID of a user.

Command options

-F

Specify the FSType on which to operate. If -F FSType is not specified it is determined by matching the inputfs device with an entry in /etc/vfstab. If this fails, heuristics similiar to those used by fstyp(1M) are used to determine the file system type.

NOTE: If the FSType is known beforehand, use the -F option. This command executes faster if it is not required to autodetect file system types.

-v

Echo the complete command line, but do not execute the command. The command line is generated by using the options and arguments provided by the user and adding to them information derived from /etc/vfstab. This option should be used to verify and validate the command line.

-o

Specify FSType-specific options.

Files

/etc/mnttab: list of currently mounted filesystems
