VFS_QUOTACTL(9)

✨ VFS_QUOTACTL ✨

okay bestie, welcome to VFS_QUOTACTL(9) — that's section 9 of the Kernel Developer's Manual, so you already know this is kernel-dev territory, not your cute little userland commands 💅. This is the page about manipulating file system quotas, and yes it's short, but it's important, so let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

VFS_QUOTACTL — manipulate file system quotas

no cap, that's the whole vibe. it's giving "quota overlord energy" 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first you gotta bring the right headers to the party, periodt:

#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/mount.h>
#include <sys/vnode.h>

and then the function itself, looking all iconic:

int
VFS_QUOTACTL(struct mount *mp, int cmds, uid_t uid, caddr_t arg);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does it do? It implements file system quotas. That's it. That's the whole description. Lowkey the shortest paragraph ever written but we move 😭

Now, the arguments — the manpage says: go read quotactl(2) for a description of the arguments. That's the assignment. The arguments get described over there, not here, so don't come for me, bestie, I'm just the messenger 📬

fr fr, if you're confused about mp, cmds, uid, or arg, the answers live in quotactl(2). go read it. it's giving required reading 📚

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀
