quota: Print quotas for the groups of which the current user is a member.
$ quota -g
try on your machine

The command "quota -g" is used to display the disk space quotas for groups on a Unix-like operating system.

The "quota" command is generally used to manage disk space quotas for users and groups. By adding the "-g" option, the command specifically targets groups and displays the information related to their quotas.

When executed, the "quota -g" command lists the group name, the number of files used by the group, the disk space used by the group, the soft quota limit for the group (if set), the hard quota limit for the group (if set), and the grace period before the quota enforcement.

This command is useful for system administrators to monitor and manage disk space usage by groups, ensuring that they do not exceed their allocated quotas.
