setquota is a command line quota editor. The filesystem, user/group name and new quotas for this filesystem can be specified on the command line.
-n Edit also non-local quota use rpc.rquotad on remote server to set quota.
-u set user quotas for named user. This is the default
-g set qroup quotas for named group
-p protoname use quotasettings of prototype user or group to set the quota for the named user or group
To disable a quota, set the coresponding parameter to 0. To change quotas for several filesystems, invoke once for each filesystem.
Only the super-user may edit quotas. (In order for quotas to be established on a file system, the root directory of the file system must contain a file, owned by root, called quota.user or quota.group. See quotaon(8) for details.)
