18 /* Usage: locate [options] pattern...
20 Scan a pathname list for the full pathname of a file, given only
21 a piece of the name (possibly containing shell globbing metacharacters).
22 The list has been processed with front-compression, which reduces
23 the list size by a factor of 4-5.
24 Recognizes two database formats, old and new. The old format is
25 bigram coded, which reduces space by a further 20-25% and uses the
26 following encoding of the database bytes:
28 0-28 likeliest differential counts + offset (14) to make nonnegative
29 30 escape code for out-of-range count to follow in next halfword
30 128-255 bigram codes (the 128 most common, as determined by `updatedb')
31 32-127 single character (printable) ASCII remainder
33 Uses a novel two-tiered string search technique:
35 First, match a metacharacter-free subpattern and a partial pathname
36 BACKWARDS to avoid full expansion of the pathname list.
37 The time savings is 40-50% over forward matching, which cannot efficiently
38 handle overlapped search patterns and compressed path remainders.
40 Then, match the actual shell glob-style regular expression (if in this form)
41 against the candidate pathnames using the slower shell filename
