       slocate [-i] [-r <regexp>] [--regexp=<regexp>]
       slocate	  [-qv]	   [-o	  <file>]    [--output=<file>]	 slocate   [-e
       <dir1,dir2,...>] [-f <fstype1,...>] <[-l	 <level>]  [-c]	 <[-U  <path>]

DESCRIPTION
       Secure Locate provides a secure way to index and quickly search for all
       files on your system  regardless	 of  ownership.	 It  uses  incremental
       encoding	 just like GNU locate to compress its database to make search‐
       ing faster, but it will	also  check  file  permissions	and  ownership
       before displaying matched entries so that users will not see files they
       do not have access to. Note that	 permissions  and  ownership  are  not
       stored in the database.

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

   OPTIONS
       -u     Create slocate database starting at path /.

       -U <dir>
	      Create slocate database starting at path <dir>.

       -e <dir1,dir2,...>
	      Exclude directories from the slocate database.

       -f <fstype1,...>
	      Exclude files on specific file systems from  the	slocate	 data‐
	      base.

       -c     Parse  '/etc/updatedb.conf'  when updating the slocate database.
	      (see CONFIGURATION FILE below).

       -l <level>
	      Security level.  0 turns security checks	off.  This  will  make
	      searchs  faster.	 1  turns  security  checks  on.  This	is the
	      default.

       -i     Does a case insensitive search.

       -q     Quiet mode.  Error messages are suppressed.

       -n <num>
	      Limit the amount of results shown to <num>.

       -r <regexp>
	      --regexp=<regexp> Search the database using a basic POSIX	 regu‐
	      lar expression.

       -o <file>
	      --output=<file> Specfies the database to create.

       -d <path>
	      --database=<path> Specfies the path of databases to search in.

       -h     --help Display this help.

       -v     --verbose Verbose mode. Display files when creating database.

       -V     --version Display version.
