Commands Reference, Volume 4
quot Command
Purpose
Summarizes file system ownership.
Syntax
quot [ -c ] [ -f ] [ -h ] [ -n ][ -v ] [ FileSystem ... ]
quot -a [ -c ] [ -f ] [ -h ] [ -n ]
[ -v ]
Description
The quot command summarizes
file system ownership by displaying the number of 512-byte blocks currently
owned by each user in the specified file system (FileSystem). If no file system is specified, the quot command
displays the same information for each of the file systems in the /etc/filesystems file.
Flags
-a |
Generate a report on all mounted systems. |
-c |
Displays a three-column report. The first column specifies the file
size in 512-byte blocks. The second column specifies the number of files of
that size. Finally, the third column specifies the cumulative total of 512-byte
blocks in all files of that size or smaller.
Note
Files greater
than or equal to 500 blocks are grouped under a block size of 499. However,
their exact block count contributes to the cumulative total of blocks. |
-f |
Displays the total number of blocks, the total number of files, and
the user name associated with these totals. |
-h |
Estimates the number of blocks used by the file. This estimation
is based on the file size and may return greater than actual block usage when
used on files with holes. |
-n |
Produces a list of all files and their owners by running the following
pipeline:
ncheck filesystem | sort +On | quot -n filesystem |
-v |
Displays output in three columns containing the number of blocks not
accessed in the last 30, 60, and 90 days. |
Security
Access Control: This command is owned by the bin user
and bin group.
