SYNOPSIS

9       quota [ -F format-name ] [ -guvsilw | q ]
10       quota [ -F format-name ] [ -uvsilw | q ] user...
11       quota [ -F format-name ] [ -gvsilw | q ] group...

DESCRIPTION

14       quota  displays users' disk usage and limits.  By default only the user
15       quotas are printed.
16
17       quota reports the quotas of all the filesystems  listed  in  /etc/mtab.
18       For  filesystems  that are NFS-mounted a call to the rpc.rquotad on the
19       server machine is performed to get the information.

OPTIONS

22       -F, --format=format-name
23              Show quota  for  specified  format  (ie.  don't  perform  format
24              autodetection).   Possible  format  names are: vfsold (version 1
25              quota), vfsv0 (version 2  quota),  rpc  (quota  over  NFS),  xfs
26              (quota on XFS filesystem)
27
28       -g, --group
29              Print  group quotas for the group of which the user is a member.
30              The optional group argument(s)  restricts  the  display  to  the
31              specified group(s).
32
33       -u, --user
34              flag is equivalent to the default.
35
36       -v, --verbose
37              will  display  quotas  on  filesystems where no storage is allo‐
38              cated.
39
40       -s, --human-readable
41              option will make quota(1) try to choose units for  showing  lim‐
42              its, used space and used inodes.
43
44       -i, --no-autofs
45              ignore mountpoints mounted by automounter
46
47       -l, --local-only
48              report  quotas only on local filesystems (ie. ignore NFS mounted
49              filesystems).
50
51       -q, --quiet
52              Print a more  terse  message,  containing  only  information  on
53              filesystems where usage is over quota.
54
55       -Q, --quiet-refuse
56              Do  not  print  error  message  if  connection to rpc.rquotad is
57              refused (usually this happens when rpc.rquotad is not running on
58              the server).
59
60       -w, --no-wrap
61              Do not wrap the line if the device name is too long. This can be
62              useful when parsing the output of quota(1) by a script.
63
64       Specifying both -g and -u displays both the user quotas and  the  group
65       quotas (for the user).
66
67       Only  the super-user may use the -u flag and the optional user argument
68       to view the limits of other users.  Non-super-users can use the the  -g
69       flag  and  optional group argument to view only the limits of groups of
70       which they are members.
71
72       The -q flag takes precedence over the -v flag.
73

DIAGNOSTICS

75       If quota exits with a non-zero status, one or more filesystems are over
76       quota.
77

FILES

79       aquota.user  or  aquota.group
80                           quota file at the filesystem root (version 2 quota,
81                           non-XFS filesystems)
82       quota.user  or  quota.group
83                           quota file at the filesystem root (version 1 quota,
84                           non-XFS filesystems)
85       /etc/mtab           default filesystems
