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.
Greets,
Pieter
