    EDQUOTA(8)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	       EDQUOTA(8)

    NAME
         edquota - edit user quotas

    SYNOPSIS
         edquota [ -p proto-user ] users...

    DESCRIPTION
         Edquota is a quota editor.  One or more users may be speci-
         fied on the command line.	For each user a temporary file is
         created with an ASCII representation of the current disc
         quotas for that user and an editor is then invoked on the
         file.  The quotas may then be modified, new quotas added,
         etc.  Upon leaving the editor, edquota reads the temporary
         file and modifies the binary quota files to reflect the
         changes made.

         If the -p option is specified, edquota will duplicate the
         quotas of the prototypical user specified for each user
         specified.  This is the normal mechanism used to initialize
         quotas for groups of users.

         The editor invoked is vi(1) unless the environment variable
         EDITOR specifies otherwise.

         Only the super-user may edit quotas.

    FILES
         quotas	    at the root of each file system with quotas
         /etc/fstab     to find file system names and locations

    SEE ALSO
         quota(1), quota(2), quotacheck(8), quotaon(8), repquota(8)

    DIAGNOSTICS
         Various messages about inaccessible files; self-explanatory.

    BUGS
         The format of the temporary file is inscrutable.
