-@item --all
-@itemx -A
-Print only names which match all non-option arguments, not those
-matching one or more non-option arguments.
-
-@item --basename
-@itemx -b
-The specified pattern is matched against just the last component of
-the name of a file in the @code{locate} database.  This last
-component is also called the ``base name''.  For example, the base
-name of @file{/tmp/mystuff/foo.old.c} is @file{foo.old.c}.  If the
-pattern contains metacharacters, it must match the base name exactly.
-If not, it must match part of the base name.
-
-@item --count
-@itemx -c
-Instead of printing the matched file names, just print the total
-number of matches found, unless @samp{--print} (@samp{-p}) is also
-present.
-
-
-@item --database=@var{path}
-@itemx -d @var{path}
-Instead of searching the default @code{locate} database, @code{locate} search the file
-name databases in @var{path}, which is a colon-separated list of
-database file names.  You can also use the environment variable
-@code{LOCATE_PATH} to set the list of database files to search.  The
-option overrides the environment variable if both are used.  Empty
-elements in @var{path} (that is, a leading or trailing colon, or two
-colons in a row) are taken to stand for the default database.
-A database can be supplied on stdin, using @samp{-} as an element
-of @samp{path}. If more than one element of @samp{path} is @samp{-},
-later instances are ignored (but a warning message is printed).
-
-@item --existing
-@itemx -e
-Only print out such names which currently exist (instead of such names
-which existed when the database was created).  Note that this may slow
-down the program a lot, if there are many matches in the database.
-The way in which broken symbolic links are treated is affected by the
-@samp{-L}, @samp{-P} and @samp{-H} options.  Please note that it is
-possible for the file to be deleted after @code{locate} has checked
-that it exists, but before you use it.
-
-@item --non-existing
-@itemx -E
-Only print out such names which currently do not exist (instead of
-such names which existed when the database was created).  Note that
-this may slow down the program a lot, if there are many matches in the
-database.  The way in which broken symbolic links are treated is
-affected by the @samp{-L}, @samp{-P} and @samp{-H} options.  Please
-note that @code{locate} checks that the file does not exist, but a
-file of the same name might be created after @code{locate}'s check but
-before you read @code{locate}'s output.
-
-@item --follow
-@itemx -L
-If testing for the existence of files (with the @samp{-e} or @samp{-E}
-options), consider broken symbolic links to be non-existing.  This is
-the default behaviour.  
-
-@item --nofollow
-@itemx -P
-@itemx -H
-If testing for the existence of files (with the @samp{-e} or @samp{-E}
-options), treat broken symbolic links as if they were existing files.
-The @samp{-H} form of this option is provided purely for similarity
-with @code{find}; the use of @samp{-P} is recommended over @samp{-H}.
-
-@item --ignore-case
-@itemx -i
-Ignore case distinctions in both the pattern and the file names.
-
-@item --limit=N
-@itemx -l N
-Limit the number of results printed to N.  When used with the
-@samp{--count} option, the value printed will never be larger than
-this limit.
-
-@item --mmap
-@itemx -m
-Accepted but does nothing.  The option is supported only to provide
-compatibility with BSD's @code{locate}.
-
-@item --null
-@itemx -0
-Results are separated with the ASCII NUL character rather than the
-newline character.  To get the full benefit of the use of this option,
-use the new @code{locate} database format (that is the default
-anyway).
-
-@item --print
-@itemx -p
-Print search results when they normally would not, because of the
-presence of @samp{--statistics} (@samp{-S}) or @samp{--count}
-(@samp{-c}).
-
-@item --wholename
-@itemx -w
-The specified pattern is matched against the whole name of the file in
-the @code{locate} database.  If the pattern contains metacharacters,
-it must match exactly.  If not, it must match part of the whole file
-name.  This is the default behaviour.
-
-@item --regex
-@itemx -r
-Instead of using substring or shell glob matching, the pattern
-specified on the command line is understood to be a regular
-expression.  GNU Emacs-style regular expressions are assumed unless
-the @samp{--regextype} option is also given.  File names from the
-@code{locate} database are matched using the specified regular
-expression.  If the @samp{-i} flag is also given, matching is
-case-insensitive.  Matches are performed against the whole path name,
-and so by default a pathname will be matched if any part of it matches
-the specified regular expression.  The regular expression may use
-@samp{^} or @samp{$} to anchor a match at the beginning or end of a
-pathname.
-
-@item --regextype
-This option changes the regular expression syntax and behaviour used
-by the @samp{--regex} option.  @ref{Regular Expressions} for more
-information on the regular expression dialects understood by GNU
-findutils.
-
-@item --stdio
-@itemx -s
-Accepted but does nothing.  The option is supported only to provide
-compatibility with BSD's @code{locate}.
-
-@item --statistics
-@itemx -S
-Print some summary information for each @code{locate} database.  No
-search is performed unless non-option arguments are given.
-
-@item --help
-Print a summary of the command line usage for @code{locate} and exit.
-
-@item --version
-Print the version number of @code{locate} and exit.

-@example

-@end example
-
-@code{updatedb} creates and updates the database of file names used by
-@code{locate}.  @code{updatedb} generates a list of files similar to
-the output of @code{find} and then uses utilities for optimizing the
-database for performance.  @code{updatedb} is often run periodically
-as a @code{cron} job and configured with environment variables or
-command options.  Typically, operating systems have a shell script
-that ``exports'' configurations for variable definitions and uses
-another schell script that ``sources'' the configuration file into the
-environment and then executes @code{updatedb} in the environment.

-@table @code
-@item --findoptions='@var{OPTION}@dots{}'
-Global options to pass on to @code{find}.
-The environment variable @code{FINDOPTIONS} also sets this value.
-Default is none.
-
-@item --localpaths='@var{path}@dots{}'
-Non-network directories to put in the database.
-Default is @file{/}.
-
-@item --netpaths='@var{path}@dots{}'
-Network (NFS, AFS, RFS, etc.) directories to put in the database.
-The environment variable @code{NETPATHS} also sets this value.
-Default is none.
-
-@item --prunepaths='@var{path}@dots{}'
-Directories to omit from the database, which would otherwise be
-included.  The environment variable @code{PRUNEPATHS} also sets this
-value.  Default is @file{/tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp /afs}.  The paths are
-used as regular expressions (with @code{find ... -regex}, so you need
-to specify these paths in the same way that @code{find} will encounter
-them.  This means for example that the paths must not include trailing
-slashes.
-
-@item --prunefs='@var{path}@dots{}'
-Filesystems to omit from the database, which would otherwise be
-included.  Note that files are pruned when a filesystem is reached;
-Any filesystem mounted under an undesired filesystem will be ignored.
-The environment variable @code{PRUNEFS} also sets this value.  Default
-is @file{nfs NFS proc}.
-
-@item --output=@var{dbfile}
-The database file to build.  Default is system-dependent, but
-typically @file{/usr/local/var/locatedb}.
-
-@item --localuser=@var{user}
-The user to search the non-network directories as, using @code{su}.
-Default is to search the non-network directories as the current user.
-You can also use the environment variable @code{LOCALUSER} to set this user.
-
-@item --netuser=@var{user}
-The user to search network directories as, using @code{su}.  Default
-@code{user} is @code{daemon}.  You can also use the environment variable
-@code{NETUSER} to set this user.
-
-@item --old-format
-Generate a @code{locate} database in the old format, for compatibility
-with versions of @code{locate} other than GNU @code{locate}.  Using
-this option means that @code{locate} will not be able to properly
-handle non-ASCII characters in file names (that is, file names
-containing characters which have the eighth bit set, such as many of
-the characters from the ISO-8859-1 character set).
-@item --help
-Print a summary of the command line usage and exit.
-@item --version
-Print the version number of @code{updatedb} and exit.
