 .B loc
 is a simple wrapper around find(1) which searches in the current directory tree
 for filenames matching a pattern, and prints them to stdout, newline-separated.

+It skips dotfiles, and doesn't interate further into a directory if it matches
+the terms. It is intended only for interactive use as a shortcut.
