<span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;"><b>mlocate</b> is a merging locate and database package. "Merging" means updatedb reuses the existing database to avoid re-reading most of the file system. This makes the database update faster and does not tax the system caches. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">mlocate can index several file systems including network file systems for network shares.

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">Then let's install mlocate and any required packages:</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">The following command will update the search databases:</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">Squid is a caching and forwarding web proxy. It has a wide variety of uses, from speeding up a web server by caching repeated requests; to caching web, <a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/DNS">DNS</a> and other computer network lookups for a group of people sharing network resources; to aiding security by filtering traffic. Although primarily used for HTTP and <a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/ftp">FTP</a>, Squid includes limited support for several other protocols including TLS, SSL, Internet Gopher and HTTPS</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">.</span></div>
