Package: dlocate

$ man dlocate

       pattern...
           List  all  records  where  either  the  package name or the filename
           matches pattern.

Add:      Note that throughout this man page, "filename" means full path, not just
          the filename at the end.

OPTIONS
       --filename-only
           Only output file names when searching for files.

Add:    Note, this includes directory names, just not package names.


And perhaps add an additional function to exclude directories.

P.S.,
NAME
       dlocate - program to view debian package information

No need to say "program to".
