quota − display disk usage and limits

quota [ -F format-name ] [
-uvsil | q ] user... 
quota [ -F format-name ] [
-gvsil | q ] group...
quota displays users’ disk usage and limits. By default only the user quotas are printed.
quota reports the quotas of all the filesystems listed in /etc/mtab. For filesystems that are NFS-mounted a call to the rpc.rquotad on the server machine is performed to get the information.
−F format-name
Show quota for specified format (ie. don’t perform format autodetection). Possible format names are: vfsold (version 1 quota), vfsv0 (version 2 quota), rpc (quota over NFS), xfs (quota on XFS filesystem)
| −g | Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a member. The optional group argument(s) restricts the display to the specified group(s). | ||
| −u | flag is equivalent to the default. | ||
| −v | will display quotas on filesystems where no storage is allocated. | ||
| −s | option will make quota(1) try to choose units for showing limits, used space and used inodes. | ||
| −i | ignore mountpoints mounted by automounter | ||
| −l | report quotas only on local filesystems (ie. ignore NFS mounted filesystems). | ||
| −q | Print a more terse message, containing only information on filesystems where usage is over quota. | ||
| −Q | Do not print error message if connection to rpc.rquotad is refused (usually this happens when rpc.rquotad is not running on the server). | 
Specifying both −g and −u displays both the user quotas and the group quotas (for the user).
Only the super-user may use the −u flag and the optional user argument to view the limits of other users. Non-super-users can use the the −g flag and optional group argument to view only the limits of groups of which they are members.
The −q flag takes precedence over the −v flag.
If quota exits with a non-zero status, one or more filesystems are over quota.
aquota.user or aquota.group
quota file at the filesystem root (version 2 quota, non-XFS filesystems)
quota.user or quota.group
quota file at the filesystem root (version 1 quota, non-XFS filesystems)
