NAME
dnf-groups-manager - DNF groups-manager Plugin
Create and edit groups repository metadata files.
SYNOPSIS
dnf groups-manager [options] [package-name-spec [package-name-spec
...]]
DESCRIPTION
groups-manager plugin is used to create or edit a group metadata file
for a repository. This is often much easier than writing/editing the
XML by hand. The groups-manager can load an entire file of groups meta-
data and either create a new group or edit an existing group and then
write all of the groups metadata back out.
ARGUMENTS
<package-name-spec>
Package to add to a group or remove from a group.
OPTIONS
All general DNF options are accepted, see Options in dnf(8) for
details.
--load=<path_to_comps.xml>
Load the groups metadata information from the specified file
before performing any operations. Metadata from all files are
merged together if the option is specified multiple times.
--save=<path_to_comps.xml>
Save the result to this file. You can specify the name of a file
you are loading from as the data will only be saved when all the
operations have been performed. This option can also be speci-
fied multiple times.
--merge=<path_to_comps.xml>
This is the same as loading and saving a file, however the
"merge" file is loaded before any others and saved last.
--print
Also print the result to stdout.
--id=<id>
The id to lookup/use for the group. If you don't specify an
<id>, but do specify a name that doesn't refer to an existing
group, then an id for the group is generated based on the name.

The name to lookup/use for the group. If you specify an existing
group id, then the group with that id will have it's name

in, for example in dnf grouplist.
