Can you clarify where you are seeing this documentation?
I don't see it in 7.x 10.x or current.
Eg, in 10.2 apropos(1) says only:
ENVIRONMENT
The following environment variables affect the execution of
apropos:
MANLOCALES, MANPATH, PATH
Used to find the location of the whatis database
files. See manpath(1) for additional information.
PAGER Program used to display files. If unset, more -s is used.
