QUOTA(1)		     General Commands Manual			QUOTA(1)

NAME
     quota -- display disk usage and limits

SYNOPSIS
     quota [-g] [-u] [-v | -q]
     quota [-u] [-v | -q] user
     quota [-g] [-v | -q] group

DESCRIPTION
     Quota displays users' disk usage and limits.  By default only the user quo-
     tas are printed.

     Options:

     -g      Print  group  quotas  for	the group of which the user is a member.
	     The optional -u flag is equivalent to the default.

     -v      quota will display quotas on filesystems where no storage is  allo-
	     cated.

     -q      Print a more terse message, containing only information on filesys-
	     tems where usage is over quota.

     Specifying  both -g and -u displays both the user quotas and the group quo-
     tas (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 -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.

     Quota reports the quotas of all the filesystems that have	a  mount  option
     file  located at its root.  If quota exits with a non-zero status, then one
     or more filesystems are over quota.

FILES
     Each of the following quota files is located at the  root	of  the  mounted
     filesystem.   The	mount option files are empty files whose existence indi-
     cates that quotas are to be enabled for that filesystem.

     .quota.user       data file containing user quotas
     .quota.group      data file containing group quotas
     .quota.ops.user   mount option file used to enable user quotas
     .quota.ops.group  mount option file used to enable group quotas

HISTORY
     The quota command appeared in 4.2BSD.
