repquota: Report on used quota and limits in a human-readable format.

repquota

$ sudo repquota --human-readable ${filesystem}

try on your machine

This command is used in Linux systems with the "sudo" command, allowing the user to run it with administrative privileges. The purpose of "repquota" is to display disk usage and limits for specified filesystems.

The option "--human-readable" is used to display the output in a more readable format for humans, such as using sizes like KB, MB, GB instead of raw numbers.

The "${filesystem}" is a placeholder or variable that should be replaced with the name of the actual filesystem you want to check. It represents the particular filesystem on which you want to gather and display quota information.

So, when you run this command with the appropriate filesystem name, it will execute the "repquota" command with administrative privileges and display the disk usage and limits in a human-readable format for that specific filesystem.
