It's also +# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. + + |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| +mlocate: mlocate (locate/updatedb implementation) +mlocate: +mlocate: mlocate is a locate/updatedb implementation. It keeps a database +mlocate: of all existing files and allows you to lookup files by name. The +mlocate: 'm' stands for "merging": updatedb reuses the existing database +mlocate: to avoid rereading most of the file system, which makes updatedb +mlocate: faster and does not trash the system caches as much as traditional +mlocate: locate implementations. +mlocate: +mlocate: This conflicts with Slackware 14.2's slocate package. See README +mlocate: for details. |
