Get a brief overview of how many files and directories are installed
$ locate -S
This locate command is provided through the mlocate package, installed by
default on most GNU/Linux distributions.
The output is self-explanatory- it provides an overview of how many
directories and files are on your system.
Ex:
shr...@arul-desktop:~$ locate -S
Database /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db:
33,159 directories
3,72,258 files
2,23,63,372 bytes in file names
87,22,893 bytes used to store database
