💅 QUOTASTATS(8) — the quota girlies' stats page ✨

okay bestie, pull up a chair, because we're talking about quotastats — it lives in section 8 of the quota manual and it is, lowkey, the most no-nonsense little tool you'll ever meet.

🎀 NAME 🎀

quotastats — the program that queries quota statistics. that's it, that's the whole job. she does one thing and she ate. 🍓

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

/usr/sbin/quotastats

no flags, no args, no drama. you just run her full path and she goes. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does quotastats actually do? she goes and queries the kernel for quota statistics, and then she displays all of this for you:

  • Supported kernel quota version
  • Number of dquot lookups
  • Number of dquot drops
  • Number of dquot reads
  • Number of dquot writes
  • Number of quotafile syncs
  • Number of dquot cache hits
  • Number of allocated dquots
  • Number of free dquots
  • Number of in use dquot entries (user/group)

like, she is literally handing you the whole receipt. lookups, drops, reads, writes, syncs, cache hits, allocated, free, and the in-use entries for both user and group — all of it, right there. main character energy for a stats dump ngl 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

None.

not a single one. zero. nada. she takes no options and she doesn't want any. and honestly? iconic. she said "I come as I am" 💅

this lil cutie comes to you from the quota manual, and this version is dated April 2, 2004 — yeah she's vintage, but vintage is a vibe 🌈⭐

now go run her and go off 👑💖
