+locating capabilities to other commands.
+
+The tools supplied with this package are:
+
+  * find - search for files in a directory hierarchy;
+  * locate - list files in databases that match a pattern;
+  * updatedb - update a file name database;
+  * xargs - build and execute command lines from standard input.
