DESCRIPTION
          Secure Locate provides a secure way to index and quickly search for
       files  on  your  system.  It  uses  incremental encoding just like GNU
       locate to compress its database to make searching faster, but it  will
       also  store  file permissions and ownership so that users will not see
       files they do not have access to.

          This manual page documents the GNU  version  of  slocate.   slocate
       Enables  system  users to search entire filesystems without displaying
       unauthorized files.

   OPTIONS
       -u     Create slocate database starting at path /.

       -U
