DESCRIPTION

          Secure  Locate  provides  a  secure  way  to  index and
       quickly search for files on your system. It uses incremen­
       tal encoding just like GNU locate to compress its database
       to make searching faster, but it will also store file per­
       missions  and  ownership  so that users will not see files
       they do not have access to.

          This manual page documents the GNU version of  slocate.
       slocate  Enables system users to search entire filesystems
       without displaying unauthorized files.

       -u     Create slocate database starting at path /.

       -U <dir>

       -e <dir1,dir2,...>

       -f <fstype1,...>

              slocate database.

       -c     Parse  '/etc/updatedb.conf'  when updating the slo­
              cate database.

       -l <level>
              Security level.  0 turns security checks off.  This
