want to execute edquota command inside a c program
 

hi all
me new to linux..
have learnt the usage of quota command
when i run the command from terminal i get to edit the quota through vi editor..
so i want to know how i can run edquota command from a c program.

Thanks in advance,
Admire linux :)

What about:

thanks for your reply :)
i used edquota -u username.
here when i execute the command from terminal i get the vi editor by default
and when i save it it is converted to binary by the edquota command and stored in the quota.user file right ....
so i cannot not edit that binary file directly...
if i use system (command) then i cant edit the file that opens..
thats my problem ...
is there another way ??

Just a guess but you'll probably have to use a pseudo-terminal, some manpages to look at, pty, forkpty, pts
