Before things start living their own life:

Using the man utility you mention:
$ man updatedb
UPDATEDB(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.
