32*42d7cb1eSbostic.Sh DESCRIPTION
33*42d7cb1eSbostic.Nm Edquota
3412f38975Smckusickis a quota editor.
35*42d7cb1eSbosticBy default, or if the
36*42d7cb1eSbostic.Fl u
37*42d7cb1eSbosticflag is specified,
3812f38975Smckusickone or more users may be specified on the command line.
39c9dc4fe0SmckusickFor each user a temporary file is created
40c9dc4fe0Smckusickwith an ASCII representation of the current
4112f38975Smckusickdisk quotas for that user.
4212f38975SmckusickThe list of filesystems with user quotas is determined from
43*42d7cb1eSbostic.Pa /etc/fstab .
4412f38975SmckusickAn editor is invoked on the ASCII file.
4512f38975SmckusickThe editor invoked is
46*42d7cb1eSbostic.Xr vi 1
47*42d7cb1eSbosticunless the environment variable
48*42d7cb1eSbostic.Ev EDITOR
49*42d7cb1eSbosticspecifies otherwise.
50*42d7cb1eSbostic.Pp
5112f38975SmckusickThe quotas may then be modified, new quotas added, etc.
5212f38975SmckusickSetting a quota to zero indicates that no quota should be imposed.
5312f38975SmckusickSetting a hard limit to one indicates that no allocations should
5412f38975Smckusickbe permitted.
5512f38975SmckusickSetting a soft limit to one with a hard limit of zero
5612f38975Smckusickindicates that allocations should be permitted on
57*42d7cb1eSbosticonly a temporary basis (see
58*42d7cb1eSbostic.Fl t
59*42d7cb1eSbosticbelow).
6012f38975SmckusickThe current usage information in the file is for informational purposes;
6112f38975Smckusickonly the hard and soft limits can be changed.
62*42d7cb1eSbostic.Pp
6312f38975SmckusickOn leaving the editor,
64*42d7cb1eSbostic.Nm edquota
65c9dc4fe0Smckusickreads the temporary file and modifies the binary
66c9dc4fe0Smckusickquota files to reflect the changes made.
67*42d7cb1eSbostic.Pp
68c9dc4fe0SmckusickIf the
69*42d7cb1eSbostic.Fl p
70*42d7cb1eSbosticflag is specified,
71*42d7cb1eSbostic.Nm edquota
72c9dc4fe0Smckusickwill duplicate the quotas of the prototypical user
7312f38975Smckusickspecified for each user specified.
7412f38975SmckusickThis is the normal mechanism used to
7512f38975Smckusickinitialize quotas for groups of users.
76*42d7cb1eSbostic.Pp
77*42d7cb1eSbosticIf the
78*42d7cb1eSbostic.Fl g
79*42d7cb1eSbosticflag is specified,
80*42d7cb1eSbostic.Nm edquota
8112f38975Smckusickis invoked to edit the quotas of
8212f38975Smckusickone or more groups specified on the command line.
83*42d7cb1eSbosticThe
84*42d7cb1eSbostic.Fl p
85*42d7cb1eSbosticflag can be specified in conjunction with
86*42d7cb1eSbosticthe
87*42d7cb1eSbostic.Fl g
88*42d7cb1eSbosticflag to specify a prototypical group
8912f38975Smckusickto be duplicated among the listed set of groups.
90*42d7cb1eSbostic.Pp
9112f38975SmckusickUsers are permitted to exceed their soft limits
9212f38975Smckusickfor a grace period that may be specified per filesystem.
9312f38975SmckusickOnce the grace period has expired,
9412f38975Smckusickthe soft limit is enforced as a hard limit.
9512f38975SmckusickThe default grace period for a filesystem is specified in
96*42d7cb1eSbostic.Pa /usr/include/ufs/ufs/quota.h .
97*42d7cb1eSbosticThe
98*42d7cb1eSbostic.Fl t
99*42d7cb1eSbosticflag can be used to change the grace period.
100*42d7cb1eSbosticBy default, or when invoked with the
101*42d7cb1eSbostic.Fl u
102*42d7cb1eSbosticflag, the grace period is set for all the filesystems with user
10312f38975Smckusickquotas specified in
104*42d7cb1eSbostic.Pa /etc/fstab .
105*42d7cb1eSbosticWhen invoked with the
106*42d7cb1eSbostic.Fl g
107*42d7cb1eSbosticflag the grace period is
10812f38975Smckusickset for all the filesystems with group quotas specified in
109*42d7cb1eSbostic.Pa /etc/fstab .
11012f38975SmckusickThe grace period may be specified in days, hours, minutes, or seconds.
11112f38975SmckusickSetting a grace period to zero indicates that the default
11212f38975Smckusickgrace period should be imposed.
11312f38975SmckusickSetting a grace period to one second indicates that no
11412f38975Smckusickgrace period should be granted.
115*42d7cb1eSbostic.Pp
116c9dc4fe0SmckusickOnly the super-user may edit quotas.
