PowerShell "Get-Command -Verb Get" format different from documentation

[MesPia]

According to the documentation for PowerShell 6, the PowerShell command "Get-Command -Verb Get" should output a format similar to:

CommandType Name Definition

----------- ---- ----------
Cmdlet Get-Acl Get-Acl [[-Path] <String[]>]...
Cmdlet Get-Alias Get-Alias [[-Name] <String[]...
Cmdlet Get-AuthenticodeSignature Get-AuthenticodeSignature [-...
Cmdlet Get-ChildItem Get-ChildItem [[-Path] <Stri...
...


However, when I enter the same command in either the default version of Windows PowerShell or PowerShell 6.2.3, it's headinglooks like


CommandType Name Version Source
----------- ---- ------- ------

Function Get-AppBackgroundTask 1.0.0.0 AppBackgroundTask
Function Get-AppxLastError 2.0.1.0 Appx
Function Get-AppxLog 2.0.1.0 Appx


It doesn't show the Definition (syntax) as shown in the documentation. Is the documentation wrong, or does it apply yet another version of PowerShell?
