updatedb - update a file name database

Синопсис (Synopsis)

updatedb [options]

Описание (Description)

This manual page documents the GNU version of updatedb, which updates file name databases used by GNU locate. The file name databases contain lists of files that were in particular directory trees when the databases were last updated. The file name of the default database is determined when locate and updatedb are configured and installed. The frequency with which the databases are updated and the directories for which they contain entries depend on how often updatedb is run, and with which arguments.

In networked environments, it often makes sense to build a database at the root of each filesystem, containing the entries for that filesystem. updatedb is then run for each filesystem on the fileserver where that filesystem is on a local disk, to prevent thrashing the network. Users can select which databases locate searches using an environment variable or command line option; see locate(1). Databases cannot be concatenated together.

The LOCATGE02 database format was introduced in GNU findutils version 4.0 in order to allow machines with different byte orderings to share the databases. GNU locate can read both the old and LOCATE02 database formats, though support for the old pre-4.0 database format will be removed shortly.

Параметры (Options)

--findoptions='-option1 -option2...'
              Global options to pass on to find.  The environment
              variable FINDOPTIONS also sets this value.  Default is
              none.

       --localpaths='path1 path2...'
              Non-network directories to put in the database.  Default
              is /.

       --netpaths='path1 path2...'
              Network (NFS, AFS, RFS, etc.) directories to put in the
              database.  The environment variable NETPATHS also sets
              this value.  Default is none.

       --prunepaths='path1 path2...'
              Directories to not put in the database, which would
              otherwise be.  Remove any trailing slashes from the path
              names, otherwise updatedb won't recognise the paths you
              want to omit (because it uses them as regular expression
              patterns).  The environment variable PRUNEPATHS also sets
              this value.  Default is /tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp /afs.

       --prunefs='path...'
              File systems to not put in the database, which would
              otherwise be.  Note that files are pruned when a file
              system is reached; any file system mounted under an
              undesired file system will be ignored.  The environment
              variable PRUNEFS also sets this value.  Default is nfs NFS
              proc.

       --output=dbfile
              The database file to build.  Default is system-dependent.
              In Debian GNU/Linux, the default is
              /var/cache/locate/locatedb.

       --localuser=user
              The user to search non-network directories as, using
              su(1).  Default is to search the non-network directories
              as the current user.  You can also use the environment
              variable LOCALUSER to set this user.

       --netuser=user
              The user to search network directories as, using su(1).
              Default is daemon.  You can also use the environment
              variable NETUSER to set this user.

       --dbformat=F
              Create the database in format F.  The default format is
              called LOCATE02.  Alternatively the slocate format is also
              supported.  When the slocate format is in use, the
              database produced is marked as having security level 1.
              If you want to build a system-wide slocate database, you
              may want to run updatedb as root.

       --version
              Print the version number of updatedb and exit.

       --help Print a summary of the options to updatedb and exit.

Ошибки (баги) (Bugs)

The updatedb program correctly handles filenames containing newlines, but only if the system's sort command has a working -z option. If you suspect that locate may need to return filenames containing newlines, consider using its --null option.
