README

          
plocate is a locate based on posting lists. Compared to mlocate,

it is much faster, and its index is much smaller. updatedb speed

is similar (or you can convert mlocate's index to plocate format

using plocate-build). It supports most mlocate options;

see --help or the man page (man -l plocate.1) for more information.

The file format may still change (if so, plocate will notify you itself

that you need to rerun plocate-build or updatedb). To build and install,

you will need a C++17 compiler and a development package for Zstd

(https://facebook.github.io/zstd/). liburing (https://github.com/axboe/liburing)

and a kernel supporting io_uring (Linux 5.1 or newer) is optional,

but strongly recommended for best performance, especially if you

do not have an SSD. Installation is run as:

  meson setup obj

  cd obj

  ninja

  sudo addgroup --system plocate

  sudo ninja install

  sudo systemctl enable --now plocate-updatedb.timer

To build the database for the first time after install, you can do

  sudo updatedb

The initial run of updatedb needs to scan the entire filesystem.

Subsequent runs of updatedb will be much faster, and create a slightly (~5%)

smaller database.

If you wish to run some tests of the TurboPFor implementation against

the reference implementation, you can check it out and run as follows:

  git clone https://github.com/powturbo/TurboPFor-Integer-Compression

  ( cd TurboPFor-Integer-Compression && make -j8 )

  cd obj

  ninja reconfigure

  ninja bench
