QUOT(8)                 FreeBSD System Manager's Manual                QUOT(8)

NAME

     quot - display disk space occupied by each user

SYNOPSIS

     quot [-cfknv] [-a | filesystem ...]

DESCRIPTION

     The quot utility is used to gather per-user disk usage statistics from
     ffs(7) file systems.

     The following options are available:

     -a      Include statistics for all mounted file systems.

     -c      Display three columns containing number of blocks per file,
             number of files in this category, and aggregate total of blocks
             in files with this or lower size.  This option is mutually
             exclusive with the -n option.

     -f      For each user, display count of files and space occupied.  This
             option has no effect if combined with the -c or -n options.

     -k      Force the numbers to be reported in kilobyte counts.  By default,
             all sizes are reported in 512-byte block counts.

     -n      Given a list of inodes (plus some optional data on each line) in
             the standard input, for each file print out the owner (plus the
             remainder of the input line).  Lines that do not begin with a
             number are ignored.  This is traditionally used in the pipe:

                   ls -i | sed -e 's,^  *,,' | sort -k 1n | quot -n filesystem

             to get a report of files and their owners.  This option is
             mutually exclusive with the -c option.

     -v      In addition to the default output, display the number of files
             not accessed within 30, 60 and 90 days.  This option has no
             effect if combined with the -c or -n options.

ENVIRONMENT

     BLOCKSIZE  If the environment variable BLOCKSIZE is set, and the -k
                option is not specified, the block counts will be displayed in
                units of that size block.

HISTORY

     This implementation of quot is by Wolfgang Solfrank / TooLs GmbH.

BUGS

     ncheck (which would be a lot more useful than ls -i in the example above)
     does not exist in FreeBSD.
