+ "mlocate is a locate/updatedb implementation. The 'm' stands for
+\"merging\": @code{updatedb} reuses the existing database to avoid rereading
+most of the file system, which makes it faster and does not trash the system
+caches as much. The locate(1) utility is intended to be completely compatible
+with slocate, and attempts to be compatible to GNU locate when it does not
+conflict with slocate compatibility.")
