Name: Locate
Use Rights: All users
How to use: Locate [-Q] [-d] [--database=]

Locate [-E] [f] <[-l] [-c]
<[-u] [-u]>

Description
Locate allows users to quickly search the file system for specific files. The approach is to create a database that includes all the file names and paths in the system, and then simply query the database when looking, without actually going into the file system.
In the general distribution, the establishment of the database is carried out automatically in the contab. When used by a general user, use only
# Locate Your_file_name
Type is OK. Parameters:
-U
-U
Set up the database,-U starts with the root directory, and-u can specify where to start.
-E
Will
Excluded from the scope of the search.
-L
If it's 1. Then start Safe mode. In Safe mode, users do not see files that are not visible to the user. This will begin to slow down, since locate must obtain access to files in the actual file system.
-F
Exclude specific file systems, for example, we have no reason to put the files in the proc file system in the database.
-Q
Quiet mode does not display any error messages.
-N
Displays at most one output.
-R
Use normal expressions to do the search criteria.
-O
Specifies the name of the data inventory.
-D
Specify the path to the repository
-H
Show secondary messages
-V
Show more information
