+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Quotaon
+announces to the system that disc quotas should be enabled
+on one or more file systems.
+The file systems specified must have entries
+in /etc/fstab and be mounted at the time.
+The file system quota files must be present in the root
+directory of the specified file system and be named
+.IR quotas .
+The optional argument
+.B \-v
+causes
+.I quotaon
+to print a message for each file system where quotas are turned on.
+If, instead of a list of file systems, a
+.B \-a
+argument is give to
+.IR quotaon ,
+all file systems in /etc/fstab marked read-write with quotas
+will have their quotas turned on. This is normally used at
+boot time to enable quotas.
+.PP
+.I Quotaoff
+announces to the system that file systems specified should
+have any disc quotas turned off. As above, the
+.B \-v
+forces a verbose message for each file system affected; and
+the
+.B \-a
+option forces all file systems in /etc/fstab to have their
+quotas disabled.
+.PP
+These commands
+update the status field of devices located in
+.I /etc/mtab
+to indicate when quotas are on or off for each file system.
