05/04/84  get_dir_quota

Syntax as a command:  get_dir_quota  {paths} {-control_arg}


Syntax as an active function:  [get_dir_quota {path} {-control_arg}]


Function:  prints information about the directory quota and pages used
by inferior directories.


Arguments:
paths
   are pathnames of directories for which you want quota information.
   If one of the paths is -working_directory (-wd), your working
   directory is used.  If you don't supply paths, your working
   directory is assumed.  The star convention is allowed.


Control arguments:
-long, -lg
   includes the cumulative time-page product for the current accounting
   period.  The active function doesn't accept it.
-quota
   returns the terminal quota on each directory.  The default is to
   return terminal quota and number of pages used.
-records_left, -rec_left
   returns the number of available pages in each directory, equal to
   the terminal quota minus the pages used.  If a directory has no
   terminal quota set, the available pages are computed from the
   terminal quota on the lowest parent with nonzero terminal quota,
   minus the pages used under that parent with nonzero terminal quota.
-records_used, -rec_used
   returns the number of pages used in each directory.


Access required:  You require status permission on each directory for
which you want quota.  Determining the value of -records_left may
require access further up the hierarchy.  If the required access is
lacking, an error message is printed.


Notes:  The short form of output (the default) prints the number of
pages of quota used by the segments in that directory and in any
inferior directories charging against that quota.  The output is
prepared in tabular format, with a total, when you specify more than
one pathname; when you give only one, a single line of output is
printed.

The long form of output gives the quota and pages-used information
provided in the short output.  In addition, it prints the logical
volume identifier of segments, the time-record product in units of
record days, and the date you last updated this number.  Thus, you can
see what secondary storage charges your accounts are accumulating.  If
you have inferior directories with nonzero quotas, you need print this
product for all these directories in order to obtain the charge.


Notes on active function:  Supply only one directory in the active
function.  The star convention is not allowed.

You can specify any of -quota, -records_left, or -records_used; the
default is -quota.

Historical Background

This edition of the Multics software materials and documentation is provided and donated
to Massachusetts Institute of Technology by Group BULL including BULL HN Information Systems Inc. 
as a contribution to computer science knowledge.  
This donation is made also to give evidence of the common contributions of Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
Bell Laboratories, General Electric, Honeywell Information Systems Inc., Honeywell BULL Inc., Groupe BULL
and BULL HN Information Systems Inc. to the development of this operating system. 
Multics development was initiated by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Project MAC (1963-1970),
renamed the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence in the mid 1970s, under the leadership
of Professor Fernando Jose Corbato. Users consider that Multics provided the best software architecture 
for managing computer hardware properly and for executing programs. Many subsequent operating systems 
incorporated Multics principles.
Multics was distributed in 1975 to 2000 by Group Bull in Europe , and in the U.S. by Bull HN Information Systems Inc., 
as successor in interest by change in name only to Honeywell Bull Inc. and Honeywell Information Systems Inc. .
