DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  slocate,	a  security-enhanced  version of locate.  updatedb is simply a link to slocate that implies the -u
       option.

	      Exclude directories in the comma-separated list dirs from the slocate database.

	      Exclude file systems in the comma-separated list dirs from the slocate database.
