# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| 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.
