Description

Fast filename searches can replace mlocate with a smaller posting-list index. This command-line file locator helps users find paths without walking the filesystem each time. Its database may reveal file and directory names, so indexing scope and database permissions should be reviewed.

How to run

plocate

Commands: plocate
