Why each option
The `edquota` command is used to edit user and group quotas, allowing an administrator to modify their disk space and inode limits.
The `edquota` command invokes a text editor to allow modification of disk quotas for specific users or groups, making it the primary tool for changing quota limits.
The `repquota` command generates a summary report of disk usage and quotas for filesystems, but it does not provide functionality to edit or change quotas.
The `quota` command displays current quota usage and limits; the `-e` option is not a valid or standard parameter for editing quotas with this utility.
The `quota` command, when used without specific editing options, displays a user's current disk usage and quota limits but does not allow for their modification.
