+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Edquota
+is a quota editor.
+By default, or if the
+.Fl u
+flag is specified,
+one or more users may be specified on the command line.
+For each user a temporary file is created
+with an ASCII representation of the current
+disk quotas for that user.
+The list of filesystems with user quotas is determined from
+.Pa /etc/fstab .
+An editor is invoked on the ASCII file.
+The editor invoked is
+.Xr vi 1
+unless the environment variable
+.Ev EDITOR
+specifies otherwise.
+.Pp
+The quotas may then be modified, new quotas added, etc.
+Setting a quota to zero indicates that no quota should be imposed.
+Setting a hard limit to one indicates that no allocations should
+be permitted.
+Setting a soft limit to one with a hard limit of zero
+indicates that allocations should be permitted on
+only a temporary basis (see
+.Fl t
+below).
+The current usage information in the file is for informational purposes;
+only the hard and soft limits can be changed.
+.Pp
+On leaving the editor,
+.Nm edquota
+reads the temporary file and modifies the binary
+quota files to reflect the changes made.
+.Pp
+If the
+.Fl p
+flag is specified,
+.Nm edquota
+will duplicate the quotas of the prototypical user
+specified for each user specified.
+This is the normal mechanism used to
+initialize quotas for groups of users.
+.Pp
+If the
+.Fl g
+flag is specified,
+.Nm edquota
+is invoked to edit the quotas of
+one or more groups specified on the command line.
+The
+.Fl p
+flag can be specified in conjunction with
+the
+.Fl g
+flag to specify a prototypical group
+to be duplicated among the listed set of groups.
+.Pp
+Users are permitted to exceed their soft limits
+for a grace period that may be specified per filesystem.
+Once the grace period has expired,
+the soft limit is enforced as a hard limit.
+The default grace period for a filesystem is specified in
+.Pa /usr/include/ufs/ufs/quota.h .
+The
+.Fl t
+flag can be used to change the grace period.
+By default, or when invoked with the
+.Fl u
+flag, the grace period is set for all the filesystems with user
+quotas specified in
+.Pa /etc/fstab .
+When invoked with the
+.Fl g
+flag the grace period is
+set for all the filesystems with group quotas specified in
+.Pa /etc/fstab .
+The grace period may be specified in days, hours, minutes, or seconds.
+Setting a grace period to zero indicates that the default
+grace period should be imposed.
+Setting a grace period to one second indicates that no
+grace period should be granted.
+.Pp
+Only the super-user may edit quotas.
