In past when you like to use that command you
have to build the database first
A bad thing was that new files made after the databasecreated was not added to the database.
So you do not have a other option than deleting the database and recreated it, after
sometimes.
I discover that now the database is created automatic , but is also maintain automatic or is still necessary to delete and created again ?
No I mean whereis , but that was let say 20 years ago I never use it because at that time disk space was still a problem.
I forget all about it until recently I was searching for a file , and I gave the command
make whereis and thats why I discover that it was already there.

The man page for whereis states that it only looks in certain places for info,
and bases it’s output on filenames.
