-.TH updatedb 8 "Jun 2008" mlocate
-
-.SH NAME
-updatedb \- update a database for mlocate
-
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-
-\fBupdatedb\fR [\fIOPTION\fR]...
-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B updatedb
-creates or updates a database used by
-.BR locate (1).
-If the database already exists,
-its data is reused
-to avoid rereading directories that have not changed.
-
-.B updatedb
-is usually run daily by
-.BR cron (8)
-to update the default database.
-
-.SH EXIT STATUS
-.B updatedb
-returns with exit status 0 on success, 1 on error.
-
-.SH OPTIONS
-The \fBPRUNE_BIND_MOUNTS\fR, \fBPRUNEFS\fR,
-.B PRUNENAMES
-and
-.B PRUNEPATHS
-variables, which are modified by some of the options, are documented in detail
-in
-.BR updatedb.conf (5).
-
-.TP
-\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-add-prunefs\fB \fIFS\fR
-Add entries in white-space-separated list \fIFS\fR to \fBPRUNEFS\fR.
-
-.TP
-\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-add-prunenames\fB \fINAMES\fR
-Add entries in white-space-separated list \fINAMES\fR to \fBPRUNENAMES\fR.
-
-.TP
-\fB\-e\fR, \fB\-\-add-prunepaths\fB \fIPATHS\fR
-Add entries in white-space-separated list \fIPATHS\fR to \fBPRUNEPATHS\fR.
-
-.TP
-\fB\-U\fR, \fB\-\-database\-root\fR \fIPATH\fR
-Store only results of scanning the file system subtree rooted at \fIPATH\fR to
-the generated database.
-The whole file system is scanned by default.
-
-.BR locate (1)
-outputs entries as absolute path names which don't contain symbolic links,
-regardless of the form of \fIPATH\fR.
-
-.TP
-\fB\-\-debug\-pruning\fR
-Write debugging information about pruning decisions to standard error output.
-
-.TP
-\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
-Write a summary of the available options to standard output
-and exit successfully.
-
-.TP
-\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-output\fR \fIFILE\fR
-Write the database to
-.I FILE
-instead of using the default database.
-
-.TP
-\fB\-\-prune\-bind\-mounts\fR \fIFLAG\fR
-Set
-.B PRUNE_BIND_MOUNTS
-to \fIFLAG\fR, overriding the configuration file.
-
-.TP
-\fB\-\-prunefs\fR \fIFS\fR
-Set \fBPRUNEFS\fR to \fIFS\fR, overriding the configuration file.
-
-.TP
-\fB\-\-prunenames\fR \fINAMES\fR
-Set \fBPRUNENAMES\fR to \fINAMES\fR, overriding the configuration file.
-
-.TP
-\fB\-\-prunepaths\fR \fIPATHS\fR
-Set \fBPRUNEPATHS\fR to \fIPATHS\fR, overriding the configuration file.
-
-.TP
-\fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-require\-visibility\fR \fIFLAG\fR
-Set the \*(lqrequire file visibility before reporting it\*(rq flag in the
-generated database to \fIFLAG\fR.
-
-If
-.I FLAG
-is
-.B 0
-or \fBno\fR,
-or if the database file is readable by "others"
-or it is not owned by \fBslocate\fR,
-.BR locate (1)
-outputs the database entries even if the user running
-.BR locate (1)
-could not have read the directory necessary to find out the file described
-by the database entry.
-
-If
-.I FLAG
-is
-.B 1
-or
-.B yes
-(the default),
-.BR locate (1)
-checks the permissions of parent 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
-.B slocate
-and the database permissions prohibit reading the database by users using
-other means than
-.BR locate (1),
-which is set-gid \fBslocate\fR.
-
-Note that the visibility flag is checked only if the database is owned by
-.B slocate
-and it is not readable by "others".
-
-.TP
-\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR
-Output path names of files to standard output, as soon as they are found.
-
-.TP
-\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
-Write information about the version and license of
-.B locate
-on standard output and exit successfully.
-
-.SH EXAMPLES
-To create a private mlocate database as an user other than \fBroot\fR,
-run
-.RS
-.B updatedb -l 0 \-o
-.I db_file
-.B \-U
-.I source_directory
-.RE
-Note that all users that can read
-.I db_file
-can get the complete list of files in the subtree of \fIsource_directory\fR.
-
-.SH FILES
-.TP
-\fB/etc/updatedb.conf\fR
-A configuration file. See
-.BR updatedb.conf (5).
-
-.TP
-\fB/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db\fR
-The database updated by default.
-
-.SH SECURITY
-Databases built with
-.B \-\-require\-visibility no
-allow users to find names of files and directories of other users,
-which they would not otherwise be able to do.
-
-.SH NOTES
-The accompanying
-.BR locate (1)
-utility was designed to be compatible to
-.B slocate
-and attempts to be compatible to
-.SM GNU
-.B locate
-where possible.
-This is not the case for \fBupdatedb\fR.
