| 11 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
| 12 | .B edquota | |

| 18 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 19 | .I Edquota | |
| 20 | is a quota editor. One or more users | |
| 21 | may be specified on the command line. | |
| 22 | For each user a temporary file is created | |
| 23 | with an ASCII representation of the current | |
| 24 | disc quotas for that user and an editor is | |
| 25 | then invoked on the file. The quotas may then | |
| 26 | be modified, new quotas added, etc. Upon | |
| 27 | leaving the editor, | |
| 28 | .I edquota | |
| 29 | reads the temporary file and modifies the binary | |
| 30 | quota files to reflect the changes made. | |
| 31 | .PP | |
| 32 | If the | |
| 33 | .B \-p | |
| 34 | option is specified, | |
| 35 | .I edquota | |
| 36 | will duplicate the quotas of the prototypical user | |
| 37 | specified for each user specified. This is the normal | |
| 38 | mechanism used to initialize quotas for groups | |
| 39 | of users. | |
| 40 | .PP | |
| 41 | The editor invoked is | |
| 42 | .IR vi (1) | |
| 43 | unless the environment variable EDITOR specifies otherwise. | |
| 44 | .PP | |
| 45 | Only the super-user may edit quotas. | |
