- Look for pattern in the database. Note: the database is recomputed periodically (usually weekly or daily):
|
||||
|
||||
`locate {{pattern}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Look for a file by its exact filename (a pattern containing no globbing characters is interpreted as `*pattern*`):
|
||||
|
||||
`locate '*/{{filename}}'`
|
||||
|
||||
- Recompute the database. You need to do it if you want to find recently added files:
|
||||
|
||||
`sudo updatedb`
