list isn't wanted, use "ignorefs none" before other "ignorefs ..." entries. This makes "ignorefs ..." much more useful. Tweak the wording.

.Dt LOCATE.CONF 5
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm locate.conf
|
|
.Nd locate database configuration file
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm locate.conf
|
|
file specifies the behavior of
|
|
.Pa /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb ,
|
|
which creates
|
|
.Xr locate 1
|
|
database.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
file contains a list of newline separated records,
|
|
each of which is composed of a keyword and arguments,
|
|
which are separated by white space.
|
|
Lines beginning with
|
|
.Dq #
|
|
are treated as comments and ignored.
|
|
However, a
|
|
.Dq #
|
|
in the middle of a line does not start comment.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The configuration options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width XXXXXX
|
|
.It Sy ignore Ar pattern ...
|
|
Ignore files or directories.
|
|
When building the database,
|
|
do not descend into files or directories
|
|
which match one of the specified patterns.
|
|
The matched files or directories are not stored to the database.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Default: Not specified.
|
|
.It Sy ignorecontents Ar pattern ...
|
|
Ignore contents of directories.
|
|
When building the database,
|
|
do not descend into files or directories
|
|
which match one of the specified patterns.
|
|
The matched files or directories themselves are stored to the database.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Default: Not specified.
|
|
.It Sy ignorefs Ar type ...
|
|
Ignore filesystem by type,
|
|
adding
|
|
.Ar type
|
|
to the default list.
|
|
When building the database,
|
|
do not descend into filesystems which are of the specified
|
|
.Ar type .
|
|
The mount points are not stored to the database.
|
|
If a
|
|
.Dq \&!
|
|
is prepended to
|
|
.Ar type ,
|
|
the meaning is negated,
|
|
that is, ignore filesystems which do not have the type.
|
|
As a special case, if
|
|
.Dq none
|
|
is specified for
|
|
.Ar type ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Sy ignorefs
|
|
list is cleared and all filesystems are traversed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar type
|
|
is used as an argument to
|
|
.Xr find 1
|
|
.Ic -fstype .
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
command can be used to find out the types of filesystems
|
|
that are available on the system:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
sysctl vfs.generic.fstypes
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Default: !local cd9660 fdesc kernfs procfs
|
|
.It Sy searchpath Ar directory ...
|
|
Specify base directories to be put in the database.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Default: /
|
|
.It Sy workdir Ar directory
|
|
Specify the working directory of locate.updatedb,
|
|
in which a temporary file is placed.
|
|
The temporary file is a list of all files,
|
|
and you should specify a directory that has enough space to hold it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Default: /tmp
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
