NAME
     slocate - Security Enhanced version of the GNU Locate

SYNOPSIS
     slocate  [-qi]  [-d  ]   [--database=]        string>
     slocate [-i] [-r ] [--regexp=]
     slocate [-qv]  [-o  ]  [--output=]  slocate  [-e

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 searching 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 unau-
     thorized files.

  OPTIONS
     -u   Create slocate database starting at path /.

     -U 

          Create slocate database starting at path .

     -e 
          Exclude directories from the slocate database.

     -f 
          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 
          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.
