The manual states much more than that.

The manual says:

    SYNOPSIS
           postmap [-Nfinoprsvw] [-c config_dir] [-d key] [-q key]
                   [file_type:]file_name ...

That is how the command is to be invoked.

The manual also says:

       The postmap(1) command creates or queries one or more Postfix lookup
       tables, or updates an existing one. The input and output file formats
       are expected to be compatible with:

           makemap file_type file_name < file_name

The manual NEVER EVER has stated that you should do:

        postmap makemap file_type file_name < file_name
