     quota - display a user's ufs or zfs file system  disk  quota
     and usage

SYNOPSIS

     quota [-v] [username]

DESCRIPTION

     quota displays users' UFS or ZFS disk usage and limits. Only
     the  super-user  may  use  the optional username argument to
     view the limits of other users.

     quota without options only display  warnings  about  mounted
     file  systems  where  usage  is over quota. Remotely mounted
     file systems which do not have quotas turned on are ignored.

     username can be the numeric UID of a user.

OPTIONS

     -v    Display user's quota on all mounted file systems where
           quotas exist.

USAGE

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

FILES

     /etc/mnttab    list of currently mounted filesystems

NOTES

     quota displays quotas for NFS mounted UFS- or ZFS-based file
     systems  if  the rquotad daemon is running. See rquotad(1M).
     In a zones(5) environment, quota displays  quotas  only  for
     the zone in which it is invoked.

     quota can display entries for the same file system  multiple
     times for multiple mount points. For example,

       # quota -v user1

     might display identical quota information for user1  at  the
     mount  points  /home/user1,  /home/user2, and /home/user, if
     all three mount points are mounted from the same file system
     with quotas turned on.
