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

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.
