+.IX "filesystem" "edquota command" "" "\fLedquota\fP \(em edit user quotas"
+.B edquota
+is a quota editor. One or more users or groups may be specified on the command
+line. For each user or group a temporary file is created with an
+.SM ASCII
+representation of the current disk quotas for that user or group and an editor
+is then invoked on the file. The quotas may then be modified, new
+quotas added, etc. Upon leaving the editor,
+.B edquota
+reads the temporary file and modifies the binary quota files to reflect
+the changes made.
+.LP
+The editor invoked is
+.BR vi (1)
+unless either the
+.SB EDITOR
+or the
+.SB VISUAL
+environment variable specifies otherwise.
+.LP
+Only the super-user may edit quotas.
+.SH OPTIONS

+.TP
+.B \-g
+Edit the group quota.
+.TP
+.B \-p
+Duplicate the quotas of the prototypical user

+mechanism used to initialize quotas for groups of users.
+.TP
+.B \-t

+If the time limits are zero, the default time limits in
+.B <linux/quota.h>
+are used.
+Time units of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, and months
+are understood.
+Time limits are printed in the greatest possible time unit such that
+the value is greater than or equal to one.
