+module: package
+version_added: 2.0
+author:
+    - Ansible Core Team
+short_description: Generic OS package manager
+description:
+    - This modules manages packages on a target without specifying a package manager module (like M(ansible.builtin.yum), M(ansible.builtin.apt), ...).
+      It is convenient to use in an heterogeneous environment of machines without having to create a specific task for
+      each package manager. C(package) calls behind the module for the package manager used by the operating system
+      discovered by the module M(ansible.builtin.setup).  If C(setup) was not yet run, C(package) will run it.
+    - This module acts as a proxy to the underlying package manager module. While all arguments will be passed to the
+      underlying module, not all modules support the same arguments. This documentation only covers the minimum intersection
+      of module arguments that all packaging modules support.
+    - For Windows targets, use the M(ansible.windows.win_package) module instead.
+options:
+  name:
+    description:
+      - Package name, or package specifier with version.
+      - Syntax varies with package manager. For example C(name-1.0) or C(name=1.0).
+      - Package names also vary with package manager; this module will not "translate" them per distro. For example C(libyaml-dev), C(libyaml-devel).
+    required: true
+  state:
+    description:
+      - Whether to install (C(present)), or remove (C(absent)) a package.
+      - You can use other states like C(latest) ONLY if they are supported by the underlying package module(s) executed.
+    required: true
+  use:
+    description:
+      - The required package manager module to use (C(yum), C(apt), and so on). The default 'auto' will use existing facts or try to autodetect it.
+      - You should only use this field if the automatic selection is not working for some reason.
+    default: auto
+requirements:
+    - Whatever is required for the package plugins specific for each system.

+        platforms: all
+notes:
+    - While C(package) abstracts package managers to ease dealing with multiple distributions, package name often differs for the same software.
