The reason for this is that macOS's `whatis` does not support the
`--version` and `-r` flags:

% whatis --version
/usr/bin/whatis: illegal option -- -
usage: whatis [-d] [-s mansect] keyword [...]
% whatis -s 1 -r '.*'
/usr/bin/whatis: illegal option -- r
usage: whatis [-d] [-s mansect] keyword [...]
