ACCESSDB(8)                Manual pager utils                ACCESSDB(8)

NAME top

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

SYNOPSIS top

       /usr/sbin/accessdb [-d?V] [<index-file>]

DESCRIPTION top

       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.
