Those database types that support asynchronous updates provide enhanced speed at the cost of possible corruption in the event of unusual termination.

Update only the entries for the given filename. This option is not for general use; it is used internally by man<\/b> when it has been compiled with the MAN_DB_UPDATES<\/b> option and finds that a page is out of date. It implies \u2212p<\/b> and disables \u2212c<\/b> and \u2212s<\/b>.<\/p>\n
