locate "stest" |grep ^stest$
remarkably returns null, else I screwed-up my grep test. However, there were
many numerous hits with embedded stest within text strings.
Far less common was lstest as locate simply returned two hits from mtools:
locate "lstest"
/usr/bin/mtoolstest
/usr/share/man/man1/mtoolstest.1.bz2
lstest seems to have more meaning from a user perspective. stest seems to be
something for testing for strings within a text file vs. ls being commonly used
for list directory files.
