       setquota [ -r ] [ -u | -g ] [ -F quotaformat ] [ -p protoname  ]  name
       -a | filesystem...

       setquota  -t [ -u | -g ] [ -F quotaformat ] block-grace inode-grace -a
       | filesystem...

       setquota -T [ -u | -g ] [ -F quotaformat  ]  name  block-grace  inode-

DESCRIPTION
       setquota  is  a command line quota editor.  The filesystem, user/group
       name and new quotas for this filesystem can be specified on  the  com-
       mand line.

       -r     Edit  also remote quota use rpc.rquotad on remote server to set
              quota.

       -F quotaformat
              Perform setting 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)

       -u     Set user quotas for named user. This is the default.

       -g     Set group quotas for named group.

       -p protoname
              Use  quota settings of user or group protoname to set the quota
              for the named user or group.

       -t     Set grace times for users/groups. Times block-grace and  inode-
              grace are specified in seconds.

       -T     Alter   times  for  individual  user/group  when  softlimit  is
              enforced. Times block-grace and inode-grace  are  specified  in
              seconds or can be string 'unset'.

       -a     Go  through all filesystems with quota in /etc/mtab and perform
              setting.

       To disable a quota, set the coresponding parameter  to  0.  To  change
       quotas for several filesystems, invoke once for each filesystem.

       Only the super-user may edit quotas.
