       a human readable form. The suffixes used are K (kilobyte),
       M (megabyte), G (gigabyte), T  (terabyte),  P  (petabyte),
       and  E  (exabyte).   Displays  only  your user quotas (the
       default) when specified  without  the  username  argument.

       mounted file systems that are specified in the  /etc/fstab
       file.  Quota information is displayed for each file system
       whether or not quotas are enabled for it.  The  -q  option
       takes precedence over the -v option.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       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.
