- NAME
- slocate - Security Enhanced version of the GNU Locate
- SYNOPSIS
- slocate [-qi] [-d <path>] [--database=<path>] <search string>
- slocate [-i] [-r <regexp>] [--regexp=<regexp>]
- slocate [-qv] [-o <file>] [--output=<file>] slocate [-e

- [-u]>
- slocate [-Vh] [--version] [--help]
- DESCRIPTION
- Secure Locate provides a secure way to index and quickly search for all
- files on your system regardless of ownership. It uses incremental
- encoding just like GNU locate to compress its database to make search‐
- ing faster, but it will also check file permissions and ownership
- before displaying matched entries so that users will not see files they
- do not have access to. Note that permissions and ownership are not
- stored in the database.
- This manual page documents slocate. slocate Enables system users to
- search entire filesystems without displaying unauthorized files.
- OPTIONS
- -u Create slocate database starting at path /.
- -U <dir>
- Create slocate database starting at path <dir>.
- -e <dir1,dir2,...>
- Exclude directories from the slocate database.
- -f <fstype1,...>
- Exclude files on specific file systems from the slocate
- database.
- -c Parse ’/etc/updatedb.conf’ when updating the slocate database.
- (see CONFIGURATION FILE below).
- -l <level>
- Security level. 0 turns security checks off. This will make
- searchs faster. 1 turns security checks on. This is the
- default.
- -i Does a case insensitive search.
- -q Quiet mode. Error messages are suppressed.
- -n <num>
- Limit the amount of results shown to <num>.
- -r <regexp>

- lar expression.
- -o <file>
- --output=<file> Specfies the database to create.
- -d <path>
