FLAGS

−g [groupname]
When specified without the groupname argument, displays group quotas for groups of which you are a member.  Displays group quotas for the group when you specify groupname. 

−G [groupID]
When specified without the groupID argument, displays group quotas for groups of which you are a member.  Displays group quotas for the group when you specify groupID. 

−u [username]
Displays only your user quotas (the default) when specified without the username argument.  Displays user quotas for the user when you specify username. 

−U [userID]
Displays only your user quotas (the default) when specified without the userID argument.  Displays user quotas for the user when you specify userID. 

−qPrints information only for file systems that have disk quotas and where usage is over quota.  Takes precedence over the −v flag. 

−vDisplays quota information for all mounted file systems, regardless of whether the user has any files in a given file system, or whether quotas are enabled on that file system.  The −q flag takes precedence over the −v flag. 

DESCRIPTION

The quota command displays disk space usage and limits.  Disk quotas are displayed as 1 kilobyte blocks. 

By default, only your user quotas are displayed.  If you use the −g or the −G flag without an argument, the quota command displays group quotas for groups of which you are a member. 

Unless you use the −v flag, the quota command reports only on file systems listed in /etc/fstab that have disk quotas and under which you have files.  If quota exits with a status of 1, one or more file systems are over quota.  If quota exits with a status of 2, there are system errors. 

NOTES

The term file system represents either a UFS file system or an AdvFS fileset. 

Do not use both a user and a group option in the same command. 

RESTRICTIONS

You must be the root user to use the optional username or userID argument to view information about another user, or to use the optional groupname or groupID argument to view information about a group to which you do not belong.
