 File Name Databases
 *******************
 
    The file name databases used by `locate' contain lists of files that
 were in particular directory trees when the databases were last
 updated.  The file name of the default database is determined when
 `locate' and `updatedb' are configured and installed.  The frequency
 with which the databases are updated and the directories for which they
 contain entries depend on how often `updatedb' is run, and with which
 arguments.
