Installation

# apt install plocate

Syntax

$ plocate [OPTION]...  PATTERN...

Optionen

Aufgabe	Befehl	Link
-A	--all	Ignored for compatibility with mlocate(1).
-b	--basename	Match only against the file name portion of the path name, ie., the directory names will be excluded from the match (but still printed). This does not speed up the search, but can suppress uninteresting matches.
-c	--count	Do not print each match. Instead, count them, and print out a total number at the end.
-d	--database DBPATH	Find matches in the given database, instead of /var/lib/plocate/plocate.db. This argument can be given multiple times, to search multiple databases. It is also possible to give multiple databases in one argument, separated by :. (Any character, including : and \, can be escaped by prepending a \.)
-e	--existing	Print only entries that refer to files existing at the time locate is run. Note that unlike mlocate(1), symlinks are not followed by default (and indeed, there is no option to change this).
-i	--ignore-case	Do a case-insensitive match as given by the current locale (default is case-sensitive, byte-by-byte match). Note that plocate does not support the full range of Unicode case folding rules; in particular, searching for ß will not give you matches on ss even in a German locale. Also note that this option will be somewhat slower than a case-sensitive match, since it needs to generate more candidates for searching the index.
-l	--limit LIMIT	Stop searching after LIMIT matches have been found. If --count is given, the number printed out will be at most LIMIT.
-N	--literal	Print entry names without quoting. Normally, plocate will escape special characters in filenames, so that they are safe for consumption by typical shells (similar to the GNU coreutils shell-escape-always quoting style), unless printing to a pipe, but this options will turn off such quoting.
-0	--null	Instead of writing a newline after every match, write a NUL (ASCII 0). This is useful for creating unambiguous output when it is to be processed by other tools (like xargs(1)), as filenames are allowed to contain embedded newlines.
-r	--regexp	Patterns are taken to be POSIX basic regular expressions. See regex(7) for more information. Note that this forces a linear scan through the entire database, which is slow.
	--regex	Like --regexp, but patterns are instead taken to be POSIX extended regular expressions.
-w	--wholename	Match against the entire path name. This is the default, so unless -b is given first (see above), it will not do anything. This option thus exists only as compatibility with mlocate(1).
	--help Print	out usage information, then exit successfully.
	--version	Print out version information, then exit successfully

LOCATE_PATH

• If given, appended after the list of --database paths (whether an explicit is given or the default is used)
• Colon-delimiting and character escaping follows the same rules as for --database.
