       quota - displays disk usage and limits

SYNOPSIS
       quota [-aghGuUqv]

       quota [-ah] [-g] [groupname] [-qv]

       quota [-ah] [-G] [groupID] [-qv]

       quota [-ah] [-u] [username] [-qv]

       quota [-ah] [-U] [userID] [-qv]

OPTIONS
       Displays	 quota information for all mounted file systems:  those in the
       /etc/fstab file and those mounted manually or with  automount.  The  -q
       option takes precedence over the -a option.  When specified without the
       groupname argument, displays group quotas for groups of which you are a
       member. Displays group quotas for the group when you specify groupname.
       When specified without the groupID argument, displays group quotas  for
       groups  of  which you are a member. Displays group quotas for the group
       when you specify groupID.  Causes the numbers to be scaled and reported
       in  a  human  readable  form.  The  suffixes  used  are K (kilobyte), M
       (megabyte), G (gigabyte), T (terabyte), P (petabyte), and E  (exabyte).
       Displays only your user quotas (the default) when specified without the
       username argument.  Displays user quotas for the user when you  specify
       username.   Displays only your user quotas (the default) when specified
       without the userID argument.  Displays user quotas for  the  user  when
       you  specify  userID.   Displays information only for file systems that
       have disk quotas and where usage is over quota. Takes  precedence  over
       the -v and -a options.  Displays quota information for all mounted file
       systems that are specified in the /etc/fstab file.   Quota  information
       is displayed for each file system whether or not quotas are enabled for
       it. The -q option takes precedence over the -v option.

DESCRIPTION
       The quota command displays disk space usage and limits. Disk quotas are
       displayed  as 1 kilobyte blocks unless the -h option is specified, then
       they are displayed as  K (kilobyte),  M	(megabyte),  G	(gigabyte),  T
       (terabyte), P (petabyte), and E (exabyte) scaled values.

       By  default, only your user quotas are displayed.  If you use the -g or
       the -G option without an argument, the  quota  command  displays	 group
       quotas for groups of which you are a member.

       Unless  you  use	 the -v option, the quota command reports only on file
       systems listed in /etc/fstab that have disk quotas and under which  you
       have files. If quota exits with a status of 1, one or more file systems
       are over quota.	If quota exits with a status of 2,  there  are	system
       errors.

NOTES
       The  term  file	system represents either a UFS file system or an AdvFS
       fileset.

       Do not use both a user and a group option in the same command.

RESTRICTIONS
       You must be the root user to use the optional username or userID	 argu‐
       ment  to	 view  information  about another user, or to use the optional
       groupname or groupID argument to view  information  about  a  group  to
       which you do not belong.

FILES
       Contains	 user  quotas for each file system.  Contains group quotas for
       each file system.  Contains file system names and locations.
