NAME
       quota - display disk usage and limits

SYNOPSIS
       quota [ -F format-name ] [ -guvsil | q ]
       quota [ -F format-name ] [ -uvsil | q ] user
       quota [ -F format-name ] [ -gvsil | q ] group

DESCRIPTION
       quota displays users' disk usage and limits.  By default only the user
       quotas are printed.

       quota reports the quotas of all the filesystems listed  in  /etc/mtab.
       For  filesystems that are NFS-mounted a call to the rpc.rquotad on the
       server machine is performed to get the information.

OPTIONS
       -F format-name
              Show quota for  specified  format  (ie.  don't  perform  format
              autodetection).   Possible  format names are: vfsold (version 1
              quota), vfsv0 (version 2 quota),  rpc  (quota  over  NFS),  xfs
              (quota on XFS filesystem)

       -g     Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a member.
              The optional

       -u     flag is equivalent to the default.

       -v     will display quotas on filesystems where no  storage  is  allo-
              cated.

       -s     option  will make quota(1) try to choose units for showing lim-
              its, used space and used inodes.

       -i     ignore mountpoints mounted by automounter

       -l     report quotas only on local filesystems (ie. ignore NFS mounted
              filesystems).

       -q     Print  a  more  terse  message,  containing only information on
              filesystems where usage is over quota.

       -Q     Do not print error message  if  connection  to  rpc.rquotad  is
              refused  (usually  this happens when rpc.rquotad is not running
              on the server).

       Specifying both -g and -u displays both the user quotas and the  group
       quotas (for the user).

       Only the super-user may use the -u flag and the optional user argument
       to view the limits of other users.  Non-super-users can use the the -g
       flag  and optional group argument to view only the limits of groups of
       which they are members.

       The -q flag takes precedence over the -v flag.

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

FILES
       aquota.user  or  aquota.group
                           quota  file  at  the  filesystem  root  (version 2
                           quota, non-XFS filesystems)
       quota.user  or  quota.group
                           quota file  at  the  filesystem  root  (version  1
                           quota, non-XFS filesystems)
       /etc/mtab           default filesystems
