mlocate is a locate/updatedb implementation. The 'm' stands for "merging":
|
|
updatedb reuses the existing database to avoid rereading most of the file
|
|
system, which makes updatedb faster and does not trash the system caches as
|
|
much.
|
|
|
|
The locate(1) utility is intended to be completely compatible to slocate. It
|
|
also attempts to be compatible to GNU locate, when it does not conflict with
|
|
slocate compatibility.
