DESCRIPTION

13       accessdb will output the data contained within a man-db database  in  a
14       human   readable  form.   By  default,  it  will  dump  the  data  from
15       /var/cache/man/index.<db-type>, where <db-type>  is  dependent  on  the
16       database library in use.
17
18       Supplying an argument to accessdb will override this default.
