DESCRIPTION
     This manual page documents slocate, a security-enhanced ver-
     sion  of  locate.  updatedb is simply a link to slocate that
     implies the -u option.

OPTIONS
     -u   Create slocate database starting at the root directory.
          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 
          Security level.  -l 0 turns security checks off,  which
          will  make  searches faster. -l 1 turns security checks
          on. This is the default.

     -q   Quiet mode; error messages are suppressed.

     -v   Verbose mode; display files indexed when creating data-
          base
