Correct. While at it, we should also fix the examples in the comment.

In usr.bin/locate/locate/locate.c and util.c the variable dbv is defined
as a pointer to char * and is used to access the path to every database
provided to locate. E.g. when running

*dbv points to '/path/to/db1'
*(dbv+1) points
