DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  slocate,	a  security-enhanced  version of locate.  updatedb is simply a link to slocate that implies the -u

OPTIONS

       -u     Create slocate database starting at the root directory.  This is the default behavior when called as updatedb.

       -U path

	      Exclude directories in the comma-separated list dirs from the slocate database.

       -f fstypes
	      Exclude file systems in the comma-separated list dirs from the slocate database.

       -l <num>
	      Security level.  -l 0 turns security checks off, which will make searches faster.  -l 1  turns  security	checks	on.  This  is  the
	      default.

       -q     Quiet mode; error messages are suppressed.

       -v     Verbose mode; display files indexed when creating database
