SMB2-QUOTA(1)            General Commands Manual            SMB2-QUOTA(1)

NAME         top

       smb2-quota - Userspace helper to display quota information for the
       Linux SMB client file system (CIFS)

SYNOPSIS         top

          smb2-quota [-h] {options} {file system object}

DESCRIPTION         top

       This tool is part of the cifs-utils suite.

       smb2-quota is a userspace helper program for the Linux SMB client
       file system (CIFS).

       This tool works by making an CIFS_QUERY_INFO IOCTL call to the
       Linux SMB client which in turn issues a SMB Query Info request and
       returns the result.

OPTIONS         top

       --help/-h: Print help explaining the command line options.

       --tabular/-t: Print quota information for the volume in tabular
       format.  Amount Used | Quota Limit | Warning Level | Percent Used
       | Status | SID

       --csv/-c: Print quota information for the volume in csv format.
       SID,Amount Used,Quota Limit,Warning Level

       --list/-l: Print quota information for the volume in raw format.
       - SID - Quota Used - Quota Threshold - Quota Limit

       --tabular/-t is the default action if none is given.

NOTES         top

       Kernel support for smb2-quota requires the CIFS_QUERY_INFO IOCTL
       which was initially introduced in the 4.20 kernel and is only
       implemented for mount points using SMB2 or above (see
       mount.cifs(8) vers option).
