edquota: Edit quota of the current user.
$ edquota --user $(whoami)
try on your machine

The command "edquota --user $(whoami)" is used to edit or view disk quotas for a specific user on a Unix-like operating system. Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • "edquota": It is the command-line utility used to edit or view disk quotas.
  • "--user": This option specifies that we want to perform the operation on a particular user.
  • "$(whoami)": This is a command substitution that retrieves the currently logged-in user's username. The "whoami" command returns the name of the user who executed it, and its output is passed as an argument to the "--user" option.

In summary, the command is used to edit or view disk quotas for the currently logged-in user.
