NAME
     setquota -- Sets home directory quotas on the local computer.

SYNOPSIS
     setquota [-ahl] [-n directoryDomainName] [-u username]

DESCRIPTION
     setquota provides several options for creating and updating home directory quotas.  Quotas are set as
     specified in the individual user record.

OPTIONS
     -a       sets home directory quota for users defined in all directory domains of the server's search
              path.

     -l       sets home directory quota for users defined in the local directory domain.

     -n directoryDomainName
              sets home directory quota for users defined in a specific directory domain in the server's
              search path.

     -u username
              sets home directory quota for a specific user defined in the domain(s) identified in the -a,
              -l, or -n parameter.  If you omit the -a, -l, and -n parameters when you use the -u parameter,
              -a is assumed.
