Perl XS module providing an interface to file system quotas on UNIX platforms
This repository contains the sources of the Perl “Quota” module, which has its
official home at https://metacpan.org/pod/Quota.
Please use the ticket interfaces at CPAN for reporting issues.
The Perl Quota module provides access to file system quotas on UNIX platforms.
This works both for locally mounted file systems and network file systems (via
RPC, i.e. Remote Procedure Call). The interface is designed to be independent
of UNIX flavours as well as file system types.
I started developing this module 1995 while working as a UNIX system
administrator at university; I’m no longer working in this capacity, but still
updating the module on request. Since its beginnings, it was continuously
extended by porting to more UNIX platforms and filesystems. Numerous people
have contributed to this process; for a complete list of names please see the
CHANGES document in the repository.
The quota module was in the public domain 1995 to 2001. Since 2001 it is
licensed under the same terms as Perl itself, which is (at your choice) either
the Perl Artistic License, or version 1 or later of the GNU General Public
License. For a copy of these licenses see
http://www.opensource.org/licenses. The respective authors of the source
code are its owner in regard to copyright.
Since April 2020 there’s also a Python port
of this module, with its official home at PyPi.
