locate(1) General Commands Manual locate(1)
NAME
locate - find files by name
SYNOPSIS
locate [OPTION]... PATTERN...
DESCRIPTION
locate reads one or more databases prepared by updatedb(8) and writes
file names matching at least one of the PATTERNs to standard output,
one per line.
If --regex is not specified, PATTERNs can contain globbing characters.
If any PATTERN contains no globbing characters, locate behaves as if
the pattern were *PATTERN*.
By default, locate does not check whether files found in database still
exist (but it does require all parent directories to exist if the data‐
base was built with --require-visibility no). locate can never report
files created after the most recent update of the relevant database.
