quota: Show disk quotas in human-readable units for the current user.
$ quota -s

The command "quota -s" is used to display the quota information for a user or file system in a summarized format.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "quota" is the command itself, used to manage disk quotas on a file system. Quotas allow administrators to set limits on the amount of disk space that users or groups can use.
- "-s" is an option or switch that is used with the "quota" command. In this case, it stands for "summary". When used, it provides a summarized view of the quota information.
When you execute "quota -s", it will display the summarized quota information for the currently logged-in user or file system. This includes the total disk space allowed, the amount of disk space used, and the amount of disk space remaining before the quota is reached. This summary helps users or administrators quickly assess their disk usage and remaining quota within the specified file system.
