Q_XQUOTARM(2const)

NAME

Q_XQUOTARM - free disk space taken by disk quotas

LIBRARY

Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

#include <xfs/xqm.h>      /* See quotactl(2) */
#include <sys/quota.h>

int quotactl(QCMD(Q_XQUOTARM, type), const char *_Nullable special, 0,
             caddr_t addr);

#include <xfs/xqm.h>      /* See quotactl_fd(2) */
#include <sys/syscall.h>  /* Definition of SYS_* constants */
#include <unistd.h>

int syscall(SYS_quotactl_fd, int fd, QCMD(Q_XQUOTARM, type), 0,
            unsigned int *addr);

DESCRIPTION

Free the disk space taken by disk quotas.

The addr argument should be a pointer to an unsigned int value containing flags (the same as in .d_flags field of the fs_disk_quota(2type) structure) which identify what types of quota should be removed.

Quotas must have already been turned off.

RETURN VALUE

See quotactl(2).

ERRORS

See quotactl(2).

EINVAL (since Linux 5.5): addr does not point to valid quota types.

STANDARDS

Linux.

HISTORY

Buggy until Linux 3.16.

CAVEATS

The quota type argument is ignored, but should remain valid in order to pass preliminary quotactl syscall handler checks.
