Strangely, even calling just 'man' tries to display something, saying
"This manpage is not compatible with mandoc(1) and might display incorrectly"
and displaying what seems to be the content of the script /usr/bin/man
> https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/man/blob/man-44/man/man.sh
They also install an /etc/man.conf incompatible with mandoc.
Generaly, Apple seems to be replacing the fundamental tools
with *BSD tools (mostly FreeBSD, pf being a notable exception).
