File::quotas - Interface to quotas databases
use File::quotas; $quotas = new File::quotas( ); # to load data form existing mount point $quotas = new File::quotas('/mount/point/'); # OR, to load data from a specific path $quotas = new File::quotas('/path/to/file/quotasFile'); $quotas->display_quotas(); # add the quota on uid 10 $quotas->set_entry(10, '75000', '100000', '75000', '100000'); $quotas->write_quotas('/path/to/file/quotasFile');
File::quotas provides a perl interface to 'quotas' files.
new() Constructor. Returns new instance of File::quotas. display_quotas() Displays quota information once loaded in human-readable form. load_quotas() parameters: $mountPoint, mount point to read 'quotas' from, like /export/home. You can also pass a direct path instead of a mount point. Decompresses quotas file and loads into object. write_quotas() parameters: $mountPoint, mount point to write 'quotas' to, like /export/home. You can also pass a direct path instead of a mount point. Recompresses relevant object data into quotas file. set_entry() parameters: $uid, UID or username to apply quota to. $blocks_soft, soft disk block limit in bytes. $blocks_hard, hard disk block limit in bytes. $inodes_soft, soft index node limit in bytes. $inodes_hard, hard index node limit in bytes. Sets quota entry for UID write_one_quota() parameters: $mountPoint, mount point with 'quotas' file you wish to update, or an exact path to a quotas file. $uid, the UID (not username) with a new entry. Before calling this method, you *must* make the entry using set_entry() first. This is generally an internal function. del_entry() parameters: $uid, UID to delete quota. Deletes quota entry for UID null_data() Internal function, used for object reuse.
