LIBRARY

Standard C library (libc, -lc)

#include <sys/quota.h>

int quotactl(QCMD(Q_SETQUOTA, type), const char *_Nullable special,
             int id, 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_SETQUOTA, type),
             int id, struct dqblk *addr);

Set quota information for user or group id, using the information supplied in the dqblk(2type) structure pointed to by addr.

The .dqb_valid field of the dqblk(2type) structure indicates which entries in the structure have been set by the caller.

This operation requires privilege (CAP_SYS_ADMIN).

ERANGE: The specified limits are out of the range allowed by the quota format.

This operation supersedes the Q_SETQLIM and Q_SETUSE operations in the previous quota interfaces.
