mlocate: mlocate (locate/updatedb implementation) mlocate: mlocate: mlocate is a locate/updatedb implementation. It keeps a database mlocate: of all existing files and allows you to lookup files by name. The mlocate: 'm' stands for "merging": updatedb reuses the existing database mlocate: to avoid rereading most of the file system, which makes updatedb mlocate: faster and does not trash the system caches as much as traditional mlocate: locate implementations. mlocate: mlocate: This conflicts with Slackware 14.2's slocate package. See README mlocate: for details.
