Hi,
it seems someone has changed the way slocate (GNU secure locate) works,
but the man/info page isn't much help, and I cannot find any more
documentation.
Before, if you say 'locate foo', it would list all files containing
'foo' in the pathname. If you put in a wildcard, the expression
had to match the entire pathname, not just contain it.
But now, that's different, so 'noglob locate *foo' is equivalent
to 'locate foo' and 'noglob locate *foo*'.
How do I get the old behaviour? Or more specifically, how do I specify
end-of line? '*foo$' doesn't work.
cheers, Mike.
