DESCRIPTION
     These functions are designed to simplify access to	filesystem quotas.  If
     quotas are	active on a filesystem,	these functions	will access them di-
     rectly from the kernel using the quotactl() system	call.  If quotas are
     not active, these functions will access them by reading and writing the
     quota files directly.

     The quota_open() function takes a pointer to an fstab entry corresponding
     to	the filesystem on which	quotas are to be accessed.  The	quotatype
     field indicates the type of quotas	being sought, either USRQUOTA or
     GRPQUOTA.	The openflags are those	used by	the open() system call,	usu-
     ally either O_RDONLY if the quotas	are just to be read, or	O_RDWR if the
     quotas are	to be updated.	The O_CREAT flag should	be specified if	a new
     quota file	of the requested type should be	created	if it does not already
     exist.

     The quota_close() function	closes any open	file descriptors and frees any
     storage associated	with the filesystem and	quota type referenced by qf.

     The quota_on() function enables quotas for	the filesystem associated with
     its qf argument which may have been opened	with O_RDONLY or O_RDWR.  The
     quota_on()	function returns 0 if successful; otherwise the	value -1 is
     returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error, see
     quotactl(2) for the possible errors.

     The quota_off() function disables quotas for the filesystem associated
     with its qf argument which	may have been opened with O_RDONLY or O_RDWR.
     The quota_off() function returns 0	if successful; otherwise the value -1
     is	returned and the global	variable errno is set to indicate the error,
     see quotactl(2) for the possible errors.

     The quota_read() function reads the quota from the	filesystem and quota
     type referenced by	qf for the user	(or group) specified by	id into	the
     dqblk quota structure pointed to by dqb.

     The quota_write_limits() function updates the limit fields	(but not the
     usage fields) for the filesystem and quota	type referenced	by qf for the
     user (or group) specified by id from the dqblk quota structure pointed to
     by	dqb.

     The quota_write_usage() function updates the usage	fields (but not	the
     limit fields) for the filesystem and quota	type referenced	by qf for the
     user (or group) specified by id from the dqblk quota structure pointed to
     by	dqb.

     The quota_fsname()	function returns a pointer to a	buffer containing the
     path to the root of the file system that corresponds to its qf argument,
     as	listed in /etc/fstab.  Note that this may be a symbolic	link to	the
     actual directory.

     The quota_qfname()	function returns a pointer to a	buffer containing the
     name of the quota file that corresponds to	its qf argument.  Note that
     this may be a symbolic link to the	actual file.

     The quota_maxid() function	returns	the maximum user (or group) id con-
     tained in the quota file associated with its qf argument.

     The quota_check_path() function checks if the specified path is within
     the filesystem that corresponds to	its qf argument.  If the path argument
     refers to a symbolic link,	quota_check_path() will	follow it.

     The quota_convert() function converts the quota file associated with its
     qf	argument to the	data size specified by its wordsize argument.  The
     supported wordsize	arguments are 32 for the old 32-bit quota file format
     and 64 for	the new	64-bit quota file format.  The quota_convert() func-
     tion may only be called to	operate	on quota files that are	not currently
     active.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
     If	the underlying quota file is in	or converted to	the old	32-bit format,
     limit and usage values written to the quota file will be clipped to 32
     bits.

RETURN VALUES
     If	the filesystem has quotas associated with it, quota_open() returns a
     pointer to	a quotafile structure used in subsequent quota access calls.
     If	the filesystem has no quotas, or access	permission is denied NULL is
     returned and errno	is set to indicate the error.

     The quota_check_path() function returns 1 for a positive result and 0 for
     a negative	result.	 If an error occurs, it	returns	-1 and sets errno to
     indicate the error.

     The quota_read(), quota_write_limits(), quota_write_usage(),
     quota_convert(), and quota_close()	functions return zero on success.  On
     error they	return -1 and set errno	to indicate the	error.
