DESCRIPTION
        This  manual  page  documents slocate, a security-enhanced
        version of locate.  updatedb is simply a link  to  slocate
        that implies the -u option.
 
OPTIONS
        -u     Create slocate database starting at the root direc­
               tory.  This is the default behavior when called  as
               updatedb.
 
        -U path
               Create slocate database starting at path path.
 
        -e dirs
               Exclude  directories  in  the  comma-separated list
               dirs from the slocate database.
 
        -f fstypes
               Exclude file systems in  the  comma-separated  list
               dirs from the slocate database.
 
        -l <num>
               Security  level.   -l  0 turns security checks off,
               which will make searches faster.  -l 1 turns  secu­
               rity checks on. This is the default.
 
        -q     Quiet mode; error messages are suppressed.
 
        -v     Verbose  mode;  display files indexed when creating
               database
