% dlocate | grep -A 1 Commands
Commands:
DEFAULT/none PATTERN list records that match either package or files
names
% man dlocate | grep -n -A 2 COMMANDS
17:COMMANDS
18- (none) List all records where either the package name or the
filename matches
19- PATTERN.
A standard regexp '^' is a clear implication of the above.
Moreover, the docs neglect to describe how the regexp '^' wouldn't
work unless it's suffixed with 'dlocate' specific metadata. (s/^/^: /)
Either the '^' should be made to work in a standard way, or the docs
should describe how it deviates.
HTH...
