'Plugins' AKA ' subcommands' can not be mentioned in the man page. They are usually not maintained by us, so we don't know what exists and what is actually installed on a system. The man page explains the subcommand command, which explores the system.

zypper subcommand lists the subcommands actually found on the system:

Available zypper subcommands in '/usr/lib/zypper/commands':

      lifecycle             products and packages lifecycle information

zypper help _SUBCOMMAND_ (e.g. zypper help lifecycle ) shows the subcommands man page, if it provides on.

zypper lifecycle _ARGS_ (e.g. zypper lifecycle --help) calls the plugin and forwards the ARGS to it.
