It keeps a database of all -existing files and allows you to lookup files by name. The 'm' stands for -"merging": updatedb reuses the existing database to avoid rereading most -of the file system, which makes updatedb faster and does not trash the -system caches as much as traditional locate implementations. - -This is the same "locate" that's in Slackware-current (and eventually 15.0). - -This conflicts with Slackware 14.2's slocate package! Before installing -this, add slocate to /etc/slackpkg/blacklist and then: - - # removepkg slocate - -It's also recommended to: - - # rm -rf /var/lib/slocate /etc/updatedb.conf - -The locate database will be created daily, as a cron job. If you don't -want to wait, you can create it manually: - - # /etc/cron.daily/mlocate - -If you want to revert to Slackware's slocate, remove slocate from -/etc/slackpkg/blacklist, then: - - # removepkg mlocate - # rm -rf /var/lib/mlocate /etc/updatedb.conf - # slackpkg update - # slackpkg install slocate |
