 4 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.
 
    You can obtain some statistics about the databases by using 'locate
 --statistics'.
