If .I cur is not specified, the current usage count is unchanged. .I Sq calculates the current usage for .IR d1 ", ..., " dn , and sets the maximum block quota to .IR max . If a directory currently has no quota associated, either .I sq should be used or .I cur must be specified. Both .IR setquota " and " sq use units of 1024-byte blocks. These programs require super-user privileges. .SH FILES .ta 2i \fIdir\fP/.q quota node for \fIdir\fP .SH "SEE ALSO" du(1), file(1), ls(1), pq(1), quota(2), qstat(2) .SH BUGS .I Max is an absolute maximum.
