+.SH NAME
+setquota \- set the disk usage quotas for a given user and partition
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B setquota
+[-u]
+.I special uid quota
+.br
+.B setquota
+-r [-u]
+.I special low_uid high_uid quota
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Setquota
+will set the hard and soft limits on disk usage and inode
+usage for the user with
+.I uid
+on the partition
+.I special. special
+can be either the block device name (ie.
+.I /dev/rz3g
+) or the directory it's mounted on. (ie.
+.I /u1
+). The user's soft disk usage limit will be set to
+.I quota.
+The soft inode usage limit will be set to half that amount.
+The hard limits will be set to 1.2 times the soft limits.
+.SH OPTIONS
+If the
+.B \-u
+option is given, then the specified
+.I quota
+will be added to the current usage to obtain the new soft limit.  The
+remaining values are then set relative to this as specified above.
+If the
+.B \-r
+option is given, then all the quotas for the inclusive range of uid's
+are set to the given quota (plus usage with the
+.B \-u
+option).
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+An error will occur if you attempt to set the quota for a user whose
+uid is higher than any other recorded in the quotas file.  To fix
+this, you must grow the quotas file first.
