Q_GETINFO(2const) Q_GETINFO(2const)

Q_GETINFO - get information about quotafile.

Standard C library (libc-lc)

#include <sys/quota.h>
int quotactl(QCMD(Q_GETINFO, type), const char *_Nullable special, 0,
             caddr_t addr);
#include <sys/quota.h>    /* Definition of Q_* constants */
#include <sys/syscall.h>  /* Definition of SYS_* constants */
#include <unistd.h>
int syscall(SYS_quotactl_fd, int fd, QCMD(Q_GETINFO, type), 0,
            struct dqinfo *addr);

Get information (like grace times) about quotafile.

The addr argument should be a pointer to a dqinfo(2type) structure.

Currently, the kernel fills in all entries of the dqinfo(2type) structure and marks them all as valid in the .dqi_valid field.
