+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These functions are designed to simplify access to filesystem quotas.
+If quotas are active on a filesystem,
+these functions will access them directly from the kernel using the
+.Fn quotactl
+system call.
+If quotas are not active,
+these functions will access them by reading and writing
+the quota files directly.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn quota_open
+function takes a pointer to an
+.Vt fstab
+entry corresponding to the filesystem on which quotas
+are to be accessed.
+The
+.Va quotatype
+field indicates the type of quotas being sought, either
+.Dv USRQUOTA
+or
+.Dv GRPQUOTA .
+The
+.Va openflags
+are those used by the
+.Fn open
+system call, usually either
+.Dv O_RDONLY
+if the quotas are just to be read, or
+.Dv O_RDWR
+if the quotas are to be updated.
+The
+.Dv O_CREAT
+flag should be specified if a new quota file of the requested type should
+be created if it does not already exist.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn quota_read
+function reads the quota from the filesystem and quota type referenced by
+.Va qf
+for the user (or group) specified by
+.Va id
+into the
+.Vt dqblk
+quota structure pointed to by
+.Va dqb .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn quota_write_limits
+function updates the limit fields (but not the usage fields)
+for the filesystem and quota type referenced by
+.Va qf
+for the user (or group) specified by
+.Va id
+from the
+.Vt dqblk
+quota structure pointed to by
+.Va dqb .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn quota_write_usage
+function updates the usage fields (but not the limit fields)
+for the filesystem and quota type referenced by
+.Va qf
+for the user (or group) specified by
+.Va id
+from the
+.Vt dqblk
+quota structure pointed to by
+.Va dqb .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn quota_close
+function closes any open file descriptors and frees any storage
+associated with the filesystem and quota type referenced by
+.Va qf .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If the filesystem has quotas associated with it,
+.Fn quota_open
+returns a pointer to a
+.Vt quotafile
+structure used in subsequent quota access calls.
+If the filesystem has no quotas, or access permission is denied
+.Dv NULL
+is returned and
+.Va errno
+is set to indicate the cause of failure.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn quota_read ,
+.Fn quota_write_limits ,
+.Fn quota_write_usage ,
+and
+.Fn quota_close
+functions return zero on success.
+On error they return
+.Dv -1
+and set
+.Va errno
+to indicate the cause of failure.
