NAME

quota − Displays disk usage and limits

SYNOPSIS

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

The quota command displays users’ disk usage and limits. 

FLAGS

-g groupDisplays group quotas for groups of which you are a member, in addition to your user quotas, when specified without the group argument.  Displays group quotas for group when you specify group. 

-qPrints information only for file systems where usage is over quota.  Takes precedence over the -v flag. 

-u userDisplays only your user quotas (the default) when specified without the user argument.  Displays user quotas for user when you specify user. 

-vDisplays user quotas on file systems where no storage is allocated.  The -q flag takes precedence over the -v flag. 

DESCRIPTION

By default only your user quota are printed.  If you specify -g, quota displays group quotas for the groups of which you are a member.  Only a user with superuser authority can use the optional user argument with the -u flag to view information about another user, or use the optional group argument with the -g flag to view information about a group to which that user does not belong. 

The quota command reports only on file systems listed in /etc/fstab that have disk quotas.  If quota exits with a nonzero status, one or more file systems are over quota.
