Description
Is there any way to return the C page instead of the C++ page on cppreference? for example https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/memory/malloc instead of https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/c/malloc

Research direction
Start by tracing cppman’s search and cppreference URL construction for the malloc example. Reproduce the current C++ URL, then determine how a C-page lookup should select https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/memory/malloc instead; done means C function searches return the C page without breaking C++ lookups.
