Fd: `man fd` is incomplete on macOS

[carlocab]

Describe the bug you encountered:

man fd is incomplete. The section PATTERN SYNTAX reads:

     The regular expression syntax used by fd is documented here:


     The glob syntax is documented here:

Describe what you expected to happen:

The PATTERN SYNTAX section should include where the regex and glob syntaxes are documented.

What version of fd are you using?

fd 8.1.1

Which operating system / distribution are you on?

macOS 10.15.7. uname -srm returns Darwin 19.6.0 x86_64. My system has no lsb_release command. fd was installed using brew install fd. (Could this be a problem with the Homebrew fd formula?)

Thank you for reporting this. See #688 for further discussion.

For reference, in case someone stumbles upon this and wonders why the URLs didn't render correctly on macOS: macs ship with an old (and presumably less forgiving) version of groff:

GNU groff version 1.19.2

Using a newer version (e.g. brew install groff) and updating /etc/man.conf to use the newer version also fixes the problem.
