Q_SETINFO - set information about quotafile

Standard C library (libc-lc)

#include <sys/quota.h>
int quotactl(QCMD(Q_SETINFO, 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_SETINFO, type), 0,
            struct dqinfo *addr);

Set information about quotafile.

The addr argument should be a pointer to a dqinfo(2type) structure. The .dqi_valid field of the dqinfo(2type) structure indicates the entries in the structure that have been set by the caller.

This operation requires privilege (CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
