NAME
       edquota - edit user quotas for ufs file system

SYNOPSIS
       edquota [-p proto_user] username...

       edquota -t

DESCRIPTION
       edquota	is  a quota editor.  One or more users may be specified on the
       command line. For each user a temporary file is created with  an	 ASCII
       representation  of  the	current	 disk  quotas  for  that user for each
       mounted ufs file system that has a quotas file, and an editor  is  then
       invoked on the file. The quotas may then be modified, new quotas added,
       etc. Upon leaving the editor, edquota reads the temporary file and mod‐
       ifies the binary quota files to reflect the changes made.

       The  editor  invoked  is	 vi(1)	unless the EDITOR environment variable
       specifies otherwise.

       Only the super-user may edit quotas.  In order for quotas to be	estab‐
       lished  on  a  file  system, the root directory of the file system must
       contain a file, owned by root, called quotas. (See quotaon(1M).)

       proto_user and username can be numeric, corresponding to the  UID of  a
       user.  Unassigned  UIDs	may be specified; unassigned names may not. In
       this way, default quotas can be established for	users  who  are	 later
       assigned a UID.

       If  no  options are specified, the temporary file created will have one
       or more lines of the format, where a block is considered to be  a  1024
       byte (1K) block:

       fs mount_point blocks (soft =number, \
	    hard =number ) inodes (soft =number, \
	    hard =number)

       The  number fields may be modified to reflect desired values.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -p	Duplicate  the	quotas	of  the	 proto_user specified for each
		username specified. This is the normal mechanism used to  ini‐
		tialize quotas for groups of users.

       -t	Edit  the  soft	 time limits for each file system. If the time
		limits	 are   zero,	the    default	  time	  limits    in
		/usr/include/sys/fs/ufs_quota.h	 are  used. The temporary file
		created will have one or more lines of the form

		fs mount_point blocks time limit = number tmunit,  files  time
		limit = number tmunit

       tmunit may be one of ``month'', ``week'', ``day'', ``hour'', ``min'' or
       ``sec''; characters appended to these keywords are ignored, so you  may
       write  ``months''  or  ``minutes'' if you prefer. The number and tmunit
       fields may be modified to set desired values. Time limits  are  printed
       in  the greatest possible time unit such that the value is greater than
       or equal to one. If ``default'' is printed after the tmunit, this indi‐
       cates that the value shown is zero (the default).

USAGE
       See  largefile(5)  for  the description of the behavior of edquota when
       encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).
