NAME

quota - display disk usage and limits

SYNOPSIS

quota [-guv]

quota [-uv] user ...

quota -g [-v] group ...

DESCRIPTION

The

quota command displays the disk usage and limits for one or more user(s) or group(s). By default

only the user quotas are printed. Without the

-v option, it displays information only when the usage

exceeds the limits.

user or group is a name or a numeric ID of a user or a group. The default value of user is the login user

name.

Refer to usergroupname(5) to understand the functionality changes with the Numeric User Group Name

feature.

Only users with appropriate privileges can view the limits of other users.

Options

The

quota command recognizes the following option:

-g [group... ] When speciﬁed without the group argument, displays quotas of the groups for which

you are a member. The optional group argument(s) restricts the display to the

speciﬁed group(s).

-u [user... ] Displays user quotas (the default). When speciﬁed without the user argument(s),

displays your quotas. The optional user argument(s) restricts the display to the

speciﬁed user(s).

-v Display the statistics whether they exceed limits or not. Note that no usage statis-

tics exist if no quota is set.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

Environment Variables

LC_MESSAGES determines the language in which messages are displayed.

LC_MESSAGES is not speciﬁed in the environment or is set to the empty string, the value of

LANG is

used as a default for each unspeciﬁed or empty variable. If

LANG is not speciﬁed or is set to the empty

string, a default of "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of LANG.

If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting,

quota behaves as if all internationaliza-

tion variables are set to "C". See environ (5).

International Code Set Support

Single and multi-byte character code sets are supported.
