NAME
udpatedb - update a database for mlocate
SYNOPSIS
updatedb [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
updatedb creates or updates a database used by locate(1). If the database already
exists, its data is reused to avoid rereading directories that have not changed.
updatedb is usually run daily by cron(8) to update the default database.
EXIT STATUS
updatedb returns with exit status 0 on success, 1 on error.
OPTIONS
The PRUNEFS and PRUNEPATHS variables, which are modified by some of the options,
are documented in detail in updatedb.conf(5).
-f, --add-prunefs FS
Add entries in white-space-separated list FS to PRUNEFS.
-e, --add-prunepaths PATHS
Add entries in white-space-separated list PATHS to PRUNEPATHS.
-U, --database-root PATH
Store only results of scanning the file system subtree rooted at PATH to
the generated database. The whole file system is scanned by default.
PATH must be an absolute path name, but it may contain symbolic links;
locate(1) will output the entries using the exact spelling of PATH.
-h, --help
Write a summary of the available options to standard output and exit sucess-
fully.
-o, --output FILE
Write the database to FILE instead of using the default database.
--prunefs IFS
Set PRUNEFS to IFS, overriding the config file.
--prunepaths IPATHS
Set PRUNEPATHS to IPATHS, overriding the config file.
-l, --require-visibility IFLAG
Set the "require file visibility before reporting it" flag in the generated
database to FLAG.
If FLAG is 0 or no, locate(1) outputs the database entries even if the user
running locate(1) could not have read the directory necessary to find out
the file described by the database entry.
If FLAG is 1 or yes (the default), locate(1) checks the permissions of par-
ent directories of each entry before reporting it to the invoking user. To
make the file existence truly hidden from other users, the database group is
set to slocate and the database permissions prohibit reading the database by
users using other means than locate(1), which is sgid slocate.
-v, --verbose
Output path names of files to standard output, as soon as they are found.
-V, --version
Write information about the version and licence of locate on standard output
and exit sucessfully.
FILES
/etc/updatedb.conf
A configuration file. See updatedb.conf(5).
/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db
The database updated by default.
SECURITY
Databases built with --require-visibility no allow users to find names of files and
directories of other users, which they would not otherwise be able to do.
NOTES
The accompanying locate(1) utility was designed to be compatible to slocate and
attempts to be compatible to GNU locate where possible. This is not the case for
updatedb.
