repquota: Report stats for all quotas in use.
$ sudo repquota -all
try on your machine

The command "sudo repquota -all" is used to display or manage disk quotas for users and groups on a Linux system.

Here's an explanation of each part of the command:

  • "sudo" is used to execute the following command with administrative privileges. It allows the user to run a command as a superuser or another user, typically with elevated privileges.

  • "repquota" is a utility used to report and update disk usages and limits for file systems with quota enabled. It is commonly used in Linux systems to manage disk quotas.

  • "-all" is an option for repquota that specifies to display quotas for all users and groups on the system rather than just a specific user or group.

In summary, running "sudo repquota -all" with administrative privileges will display disk quotas for all users and groups in the system, providing information about their current usage and limits.
