Matt was talking about the man page for the *plugin* for dnf which
provides the functionality of fedup.

As for dnf itself, if you type "man dnf" and get nothing then something
is odd about your system.

NAME
       dnf - DNF Command Reference

SYNOPSIS
       dnf [options] <command> [<args>...]

DESCRIPTION
       DNF  is  the  next  upcoming major version of Yum, a package
manager for
       RPM-based Linux distributions. It roughly  maintains  CLI 
compatibility
       with  Yum and defines strict API for extensions and plugins.
Plugins can
       modify or extend features of DNF or provide additional CLI 
commands  on
       top  of  those  mentioned  below. If you know the name of such a
command
       (including commands mentioned bellow), you may find/install the 
package
       which  provides  it using the appropriate virtual provide in the
form of
       dnf-command(<alias>) where <alias> is the  name  of  the 
command;  e.g.
       dnf-command(repoquery)  for  a  repoquery  command  (the same
applies to
       specifying dependencies of packages that require a particular
command).

       Available commands:

on all my systems.
