slocate [-Vh] [–version] [–help]DESCRIPTION
Secure Locate provides a secure way to index and quickly search for all files on your system regardless of ownership. It uses incremental
encoding just like GNU locate to compress its database to make searching faster, but it will also check file permissions and ownership
before displaying matched entries so that users will not see files they
do not have access to. Note that permissions and ownership are not
stored in the database.
This manual page documents slocate. slocate Enables system users to search entire filesystems without displaying unauthorized files.
