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
