DESCRIPTION         top

       .dqb_bhardlimit
       .dqb_bsoftlimit
              Absolute and preferred limits on disk quota blocks.

       .dqb_curspace
              Current occupied space (in bytes).

       .dqb_ihardlimit
       .dqb_isoftlimit
              Absolute and preferred limits on number of allocated
              inodes.

       .dqb_curinodes
              Current number of allocated inodes.

       .dqb_btime
              Time limit for excessive disk use.

       .dqb_itime
              Time limit for excessive files.

       .dqb_valid
              Bit mask of QIF_* constants.  It is set to indicate which
              fields in the dqblk structure are valid.
