Package: dlocate (1.17)

[ Source: dlocate  ]

fast alternative to dpkg -L and dpkg -S

Uses GNU grep and text dumps of dpkg's data to greatly speed up finding out which package a file belongs to (i.e. a very fast dpkg -S). Many other uses, including options to view all files in a package, calculate disk space used, view and check md5sums, list man pages, etc.
