Make the locate command ignore certain directories
Authored by: flunkedflank on Nov 15, '03 02:48:05PM

yes, but if you actually read locate.updatedb (which is a shell script) you see that it doesn't account for these command line arguments anywhere. I don't see how it could possibly use them. I think the man page must be out of sync with the installed version.
