It does nearly all I/O asynchronously using io_uring if available + (Linux 5.1+), which reduces the impact of seek latency on systems without SSDs. + Like mlocate and slocate, the returned file set is user-dependent, ie. a user + will only see a file if find(1) would list it (all directories from the root + have +rx permissions). + </longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
