quota: Verbose output (also display quotas on filesystems where no storage is allocated).
$ quota -v
try on your machine

The command "quota -v" is used to display quota information for the current user.

Here is a breakdown of each component of the command:

  • "quota": This is the actual command that is being executed.
  • "-v": This is an optional flag that stands for "verbose". It is used to provide more detailed information about the user's quota.

When you run this command in the terminal or command prompt, it will display the quota information for the logged-in user. This information includes the current usage and limits for each file system resource, such as disk space or the number of files. The "-v" option, when added, provides additional details like the name of the file system and the mount point for each specific quota.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
