Description-en: tool to edit disk quotas from the command line
Quotatool is a utility to set filesystem quotas from the commandline.
Most quota-utilities are interactive, requiring manual intervention from the
user. Quotatool on the other hand is not, making it suitable for use in
scripts and other non-interactive situations. This is very useful to edit
disk quotas from scripts.
