       block-hardlimit inode-softlimit inode-hardlimit -a | filesystem...

       setquota [ -r ] [ -u | -g ] [ -F quotaformat ] [ -p protoname  ]	 name
       -a | filesystem...

       setquota -b [ -r ] [ -u | -g ] [ -F quotaformat ] -a | filesystem...

       setquota	 -t [ -u | -g ] [ -F quotaformat ] block-grace inode-grace -a

       setquota -T [ -u | -g ] [ -F quotaformat	 ]  name  block-grace  inode-

DESCRIPTION
       setquota	 is  a command line quota editor.  The filesystem, user/group
       name and new quotas for this filesystem can be specified on  the	 com-
       mand line.

       -r     Edit  also remote quota use rpc.rquotad on remote server to set
	      quota. This option is available only if quota tools  were	 com-
	      piled with enabled support for setting quotas over RPC.

       -F quotaformat
	      Perform  setting 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)

       -u     Set user quotas for named user. This is the default.

       -g     Set group quotas for named group.

       -p protoname
	      Use quota settings of user or group protoname to set the	quota
	      for the named user or group.

       -b     Read information to set from stdin (input format is name block-
	      softlimit block-hardlimit inode-softlimit inode-hardlimit ).

       -t     Set grace times for users/groups. Times block-grace and  inode-
	      grace are specified in seconds.

       -T     Alter   times  for  individual  user/group  when	softlimit  is
	      enforced. Times block-grace and inode-grace  are	specified  in
	      seconds or can be string 'unset'.

       -a     Go  through all filesystems with quota in /etc/mtab and perform
	      setting.

       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.

FILES
       aquota.user or aquota.group
			   quota  file	at  the	 filesystem  root  (version 2
			   quota, non-XFS filesystems)
       quota.user or quota.group
