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

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/accessdb [<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.
