locate
LOCATE(1) BSD General Commands Manual LOCATE(1)
NAME
locate -- find files
SYNOPSIS
locate [-d dbpath] pattern
DESCRIPTION
locate searches a database for all pathnames which match the specified pattern. The database is recomputed periodically, and contains the
pathnames of all files which are publicly accessible.
Shell globbing and quoting characters (``*'', ``?'', ``'', ``['' and ``]'') may be used in pattern, although they will have to be escaped
from the shell. Preceding any character with a backslash (``'') eliminates any special meaning which it may have. The matching differs in
that no characters must be matched explicitly, including slashes (``/'').
As a special case, a pattern containing no globbing characters (``foo'') is matched as though it were ``*foo*''.
Options:
-d dbpath
Sets the list of databases to search to dbpath which can name one or more database files separated by ``:'', an empty component in the
list represents the default database. The environment variable LOCATE_PATH has the same effect.
FILES
/var/db/locate.database Default database
EXIT STATUS
locate exits with a 0 if a match is found, and >0 if no match is found or if another problem (such as a missing or corrupted database file)
is encountered.
SEE ALSO
find(1), fnmatch(3), locate.conf(5), weekly.conf(5), locate.updatedb(8)
