accessdb8

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

Usage

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

Overview

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.

Options

-d, --debug: Print debugging information.

-?, --help: Print a help message and exit.

--usage: Print a short usage message and exit.
