Before things start living their own life:
Using the man utility you mention:$ man updatedbUPDATEDB(1) UPDATEDB(1)
NAME updatedb - update the slocate database
SYNOPSIS updatedb [-u] [-U path] [-e path1,path2,...] [-f fstype1,...] [-l [01] ] [-q] [-v,--verbose] [-V, --version] [-h, --help] pattern...
DESCRIPTION This manual page documents slocate, a security-enhanced version of locate. updatedb is simply a link to slo‐ cate that implies the -u option.
...
$ man slocate
SLOCATE(1) SLOCATE(1)
NAME slocate - Security Enhanced version of the GNU Locate
SYNOPSIS slocate [-qi] [-d <path>] [--database=<path>] <search string> slocate [-i] [-r <regexp>] [--regexp=<regexp>] slocate [-qv] [-o <file>] [--output=<file>] slocate [-e <dir1,dir2,...>] [-f <fstype1,...>] <[-l <level>] [-c] <[-U <path>] [-u]> slocate [-Vh] [--version] [--help]
DESCRIPTION Secure Locate provides a secure way to index and quickly search for all files on your system regardless of ownership. It uses incremental encoding just like GNU locate to compress its database to make searching faster, but it will also check file permissions and ownership before displaying matched entries so that users will not see files they do not have access to. Note that permissions and ownership are not stored in the database.
This manual page documents slocate. slocate Enables system users to search entire filesystems without dis‐ playing unauthorized files.
...
Updatedb does not have anything to do with man pages.
