53.Sh DESCRIPTION
54.Nm quota
55displays users' disk usage and limits.
56By default only the user quotas are printed.
57.Pp
58The options are as follows:
59.Bl -tag -width Ds
60.It Fl g
61Print group quotas for the group
62of which the user is a member.
63.It Fl q
64Print a more terse message,
65containing only information
66on filesystems where usage is over quota.
67.It Fl u
68Print user quotas for the user.
69This flag is equivalent to the default.
70.It Fl v
71.Nm quota
72will display quotas on filesystems
73where no storage is allocated.
74.El
75.Pp
76Specifying both
77.Fl g
78and
79.Fl u
80displays both the user quotas and the group quotas (for
81the user).
82.Pp
83Only the superuser may use the
84.Fl u
85flag and the optional
86.Ar user
87argument to view the limits of other users.
88Non-superusers can use the
89.Fl g
90flag and optional
91.Ar group
92argument to view only the limits of groups of which they are members.
93.Pp
94The
95.Fl q
96flag takes precedence over the
97.Fl v
98flag.
99.Pp
100.Nm quota
101tries to report the quotas of all mounted filesystems.
102If the filesystem is mounted via NFS,
103it will attempt to contact the
104.Xr rpc.rquotad 8
105daemon on the
106NFS server.
107For FFS
108filesystems, quotas must be turned on in
109.Pa /etc/fstab .
110If
111.Nm quota
112exits with a non-zero status, one or more filesystems
113are over quota.
