NAME

       accessdb - dumps the content of a man-db database in a human readable format.

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/accessdb [-hV] [<index-file>]

DESCRIPTION

       accessdb  will  output  the  data  contained  within  a	man-db	database in a human readable form.  By default, it will dump the data from
       /var/cache/man/index.<db-type>, where <db-type> is dependent on the database library in use.

       Supplying an argument to accessdb will override this default.
