mlocate is a new locate implementation. The "m"
stands for "merging", because updatedb reuses the
existing database to avoid rereading most of the
file system, which makes updatedb faster and does
not trash the system caches as much. The locate(1)
utility is intended to be completely compatible to
slocate. It also attempts to be compatible to GNU
locate, when it does not conflict with slocate
compatibility.
