愿君学长松，慎勿作桃李。这篇文章主要讲述Linux之locate命令相关的知识，希望能为你提供帮助。
命令简介

/usr/bin/updatedb主要用来更新数据库，通过crontab自动完成的
/usr/bin/locate查询文件位置
/etc/updatedb.confupdatedb的配置文件
/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db存放文件信息的文件

如果系统中没有此命令

//Centos > yum install mlocate -y //Ubuntu > sudo apt-get install mlocate -y

用法

locate [OPTION]... [PATTERN]...

命令参数

-e将排除在寻找的范围之外。
-1如果是 1．则启动安全模式。在安全模式下，使用者不会看到权限无法看到的档案。这会使速度减慢，因为 locate 必须至实际的档案系统中取得档案的权限资料。
-f将特定的档案系统排除在外，例如我们没有必要把 proc 档案系统中的档案放在资料库中。
-q安静模式，不会显示任何错误讯息。
-n 至多显示 n个输出。
-r 使用正规运算式做寻找的条件。
-o 指定资料库存的名称。
-d 指定资料库的路径
-h 显示辅助讯息
-V 显示程式的版本讯息
