> +- *downgrade*: downgrade an installed package to an older version
+- *erase*: erase package from the system
+- *install*: install a new package on the system
+- *replace*: replace a previously installed package with another one
+- *restore*: restore permissions and similar on an installed package
+- *upgrade*: upgrade an installed package to a newer version
+
+_NEVRA_ is the package identifier. Operations *downgrade*, *replace* and
+*upgrade* consist of two parts: install of one package and removal of
+another. In these cases, the second package identifier _RELNEVRA_ is
+indicated in parentheses after *from:*.
+
+# EXAMPLES
+
+*journalctl -t rpm*
+	Inspect RPM transaction history on a systemd-based OS.

No nitpick here, just wanted to say:

Nice! This is the perfect place to mention this use case, indeed 👍
