DNF4-TRANSACTION-JSON(5)

NAME
dnf4-transaction-json - DNF Stored Transaction JSON

The stored transaction format is considered unstable and may change in an incompatible way at any time. It will work if the same version of dnf is used to store and replay (or between versions as long as it stays the same).
