DESCRIPTION         top

       warnquota checks the disk quota for specified local filesystems (or
       for each local filesystem if none specified) and mails a warning

       typically run via cron(8).

              Perform setting for specified format (ie. don't perform format
              autodetection).  Possible format names are: vfsold Original
              quota format with 16-bit UIDs / GIDs, vfsv0 Quota format with
              32-bit UIDs / GIDs, 64-bit space usage, 32-bit inode usage and
              limits, vfsv1 Quota format with 64-bit quota limits and usage,
              xfs Quota on XFS filesystem.
       -q, --quota-tab=quotatab
              Use quotatab instead of /etc/quotatab as file with device
              description strings (see quotatab(5) for syntax).
       -c, --config=configfile
              Use configfile instead of /etc/warnquota.conf as configuration
              file (see warnquota.conf(5) for syntax).
       -a, --admins-file=adminsfile
              Use adminsfile instead of /etc/quotagrpadmins as a file with

       -s, --human-readable
