The man page is in the machine image apparently.

core@localhost:~$ rpm -ql podman | grep quad
/usr/libexec/podman/quadlet
/usr/share/man/man5/quadlet.5.gz

Maybe there are o man pages in a podman machine, but I gave you a link
to the quadlet/podman-systemd.unit man page.

Quadlet executable is only in the machine.  It is executed by systemd at
boot time and daemon-reload.

/usr/libexec/podman/quadlet

Quadlets look like standard systemd unit files with a stanza for
[Container] or [Pod] or [Kube] or [Volume] or [Network]
