$ dnf builddep
usage: dnf builddep [--help-cmd] [-D 'MACRO EXPR'] [--spec | --srpm]
package [package ...]
positional arguments:
package packages with builddeps to install
optional arguments:
--help-cmd show this help about this tool
-D 'MACRO EXPR', --define 'MACRO EXPR'
define a macro for spec file parsing
--spec treat commandline arguments as spec files
--srpm treat commandline arguments as source rpm
