Read a manual. Required fields depend on the retrieval mode: 1. Name lookup: name. Example: {"name":"ls"}. Optional product pins a distro. Without OS/version filters, select the newest upstream version across active catalogs. Different packages or sections remain ambiguous; provenance identifies the chosen distro. 2. ID lookup: page_id copied from a previous result; omit name-based filters. 3. Continuation: cursor copied from get_man_page.next_cursor; omit name-based filters. A matching page_id may also be supplied. max_chars is optional in every mode. With product, os_version defaults to latest (null also means latest): the newest numbered release with readable documentation for the requested architecture/locale. Pass an explicit release such as 44 to pin it. Responses identify the actual OS release. A missing manual never falls back to an older OS. page_id and cursor retain their own release. Version accepts exact EVR (2:1.35-9.fc44), version-release (1.35-9.fc44), or upstream version (1.35). No operators or ranges: >=1.35 is invalid. RPM ~ and ^ characters are allowed in exact versions. Omit version for current documentation. An unavailable version never falls back; alternatives list only readable manuals. Ambiguity returns page_id choices. Alternatively pass only page_id from search, or only cursor to continue a long page. max_chars bounds each response; next_cursor=null means finished.
