✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is the dnf-utils manual page from dnf-plugins-core, and it's literally the home of classic YUM utilities that got reimplemented as CLI shims sitting on top of DNF. The whole main-character purpose of these shims? Making sure everything stays backward compatible with yum-3. Periodt. 💅
