Elf M. Sternberg bf2b2715d4 Just pushing stuff around. Note: It was _dictd_ that has the nifty GZIP-with-indexes tryck. 2021-07-06 18:09:30 -07:00
Elf M. Sternberg 965df106d9 Separation of concerns. We now have a trait for identifying
a database type, and an implementation for mLocate.  That's a
start.

* Implement a "read from mlocate" feature.
* Implement a "write to mlocate" feature".
* Implement a "write to rslocate01" feature.
* implement a "write to rzlocate01" feature, stealing wildly from
dictd.

//! MLocate
//!
//! The readme has the full explanation, but the `locate` suite of
//! tools present in all Linux distributions is used to locate files
//! on your storage device. Rather than search the device directly,
//! `locate` scans a catalog file created during downtime.
//!
//! `MLocate` is the most popular implementation of the locate system,
//! but it has three annoying flaws:
//!
//! 1. The archive file isn't very compressed.
//! 2. The archive file is always an average of 12 hours out of date.
//! 3. The archive is accessible only through a command line program.
//!
//! This program intends to read one of two different formats, the
//! classic mlocate format, or a new format that exploits a few nifty
//! tricks to try and make the database file smaller and access
//! faster.
