SYNOPSIS
dlocate [ option ] [ package | string ]
From
$ dlocate --help #Not -? !! Which gets a DIFFERENT programs' Usage.
Usage: dlocate [option] [string...]
So maybe more strings.
# ls /etc/X11/Xresources/
x11-common xbase-clients xfree86-common xlockmore xlockmore.dpkg-old
# ls /etc/X11/Xresources/*|xargs dlocate
xbase-clients: /etc/X11/Xresources/xbase-clients
xlockmore: /etc/X11/Xresources/xlockmore
# ls /etc/X11/Xresources/*|xargs -n 1 dlocate
x11-common: /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common
xbase-clients: /etc/X11/Xresources/xbase-clients
xlockmore: /etc/X11/Xresources/xlockmore
So we see that one can give five strings and get two results. But it
is best to give one string five times, giving three results.
dpkg -S is more retrospect:
# ls /etc/X11/Xresources/*|xargs dpkg -S
x11-common: /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common
xbase-clients: /etc/X11/Xresources/xbase-clients
dpkg: /etc/X11/Xresources/xfree86-common not found.
xlockmore: /etc/X11/Xresources/xlockmore
dpkg: /etc/X11/Xresources/xlockmore.dpkg-old not found.
Wait,
# ls /etc/X11/Xresources/*|xargs dlocate -S
x11-common: /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common
xbase-clients: /etc/X11/Xresources/xbase-clients
xlockmore: /etc/X11/Xresources/xlockmore
So one should use -S to be sure it doesn't think some are package names?!
