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.
egreshko@meimei man8]$ dnf whatprovides /usr/share/man/man8/dnf.8.gz

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.
