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.

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 statistics

exist if no quota is set.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

Environment Variables

LC_MESSAGES determines the language in which messages are displayed.

If 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.
