always when I use dnf command it starts to update repositories and it takes a while, especially when OS is outdated. but sometimes I need to use dnf info or something like that and I don't need it to be updated. How can I use it in a way it does not search for update? any switch or something?
Use the --cacheonly (or -C) option; this will use the system cache only, without updating it.

rpmcommands that are local-only, e.g.rpm -qi packagenameto get the info on an installed package. – Aaron D. Marasco Jul 18 '20 at 18:20
