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.

       -f

	      database.

       -c     Parse  '/etc/updatedb.conf' when updating the slocate database.

       -l 
	      Security level.  0 turns security checks off.  This  will	 make
	      searchs  faster.	 1  turns  security  checks  on.  This is the
	      default.
