;;; Commentary:

;; Search a database of files and use dired commands on the result.
;;
;; Locate.el provides an interface to a program which searches a
;; database of file names. By default, this program is the GNU locate
;; command, but it could also be the BSD-style find command, or even a
;; user specified command.
;;
;; To use the BSD-style "fast find", or any other shell command of the
;; form
;;
;;   SHELLPROGRAM  Name-to-find
;;
;; set the variable `locate-command' in your .emacs file.
;;
;;   To use a more complicated expression, create a function which
;; takes a string (the name to find) as input and returns a list.
;; The first element should be the command to be executed, the remaining
;; elements should be the arguments (including the name to find). Then put
;;
;; (setq locate-make-command-line 'my-locate-command-line)
;;
;; in your .emacs, using the name of your function in place of
;; my-locate-command-line.
;;
;; You should make sure that whichever command you use works correctly
;; from a shell prompt. GNU locate and BSD find expect the file databases
;; to either be in standard places or located via environment variables.
;; If the latter, make sure these environment variables are set in
;; your emacs process.
;;
;; Locate-mode assumes that each line output from the locate-command
;; consists exactly of a file name, possibly preceded or trailed by
;; whitespace. If your file database has other information on the line (for
;; example, the file size), you will need to redefine the function
;; `locate-get-file-positions' to return a list consisting of the first
;; character in the file name and the last character in the file name.
;;
;; To use locate-mode, simply type M-x locate and then the string
;; you wish to find. You can use almost all of the dired commands in
;; the resulting *Locate* buffer.  It is worth noting that your commands
;; do not, of course, affect the file database. For example, if you
;; compress a file in the locate buffer, the actual file will be
;; compressed, but the entry in the file database will not be
;; affected. Consequently, the database and the filesystem will be out
;; of sync until the next time the database is updated.
;;
;; The command `locate-with-filter' keeps only lines matching a
;; regular expression; this is often useful to constrain a big search.
;;

;;;;; Building a database of files ;;;;;;;;;
;;
;; You can create a simple files database with a port of the Unix find command
;; and one of the various Windows NT various scheduling utilities,
;; for example the AT command from the NT Resource Kit, WinCron which is
;; included with Microsoft FrontPage, or the shareware NTCron program.
;;
;; To set up a function which searches the files database, do something
;; like this:
;;
;; (defvar locate-fcodes-file       "c:/users/peter/fcodes")
;; (defvar locate-make-command-line 'nt-locate-make-command-line)
;;
;; (defun nt-locate-make-command-line (arg)
;;  (list "grep" "-i" arg locate-fcodes-file))
;;
;;;;;;;; ADVICE For dired-make-relative: ;;;;;;;;;
;;
;; For certain dired commands to work right, you should also include the
;; following in your _emacs/.emacs:
;;
;; (defadvice dired-make-relative (before set-no-error activate)
;;   "For locate mode and Windows, don't return errors"
;;   (if (and (eq   major-mode  'locate-mode)
;; 	   (memq system-type (list 'windows-nt 'ms-dos)))
;;       (ad-set-arg 2 t)
;;     ))
;;
;; Otherwise, `dired-make-relative' will give error messages like
;; "FILENAME: not in directory tree growing at /"
