-# Contributing to Nix
-
-Welcome and thank you for your interest in contributing to Nix!
-We appreciate your support.
-
-Reading and following these guidelines will help us make the contribution process easy and effective for everyone involved.
-
-## Report a bug
-
-1. Check on the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues) if your bug was already reported.
-
-2. If you were not able to find the bug or feature [open a new issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/new/choose)
-
-3. The issue templates will guide you in specifying your issue.
-   The more complete the information you provide, the more likely it can be found by others and the more useful it is in the future.
-   Make sure reported bugs can be reproduced easily.
-
-4. Once submitted, do not expect issues to be picked up or solved right away.
-   The only way to ensure this, is to [work on the issue yourself](#making-changes-to-nix).
-
-## Report a security vulnerability
-
-Check out the [security policy](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/security/policy).
-
-## Making changes to Nix
-
-1. Search for related issues that cover what you're going to work on.
-   It could help to mention there that you will work on the issue.
-
-   Issues labeled [good first issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels/good%20first%20issue) should be relatively easy to fix and are likely to get merged quickly.
-   Pull requests addressing issues labeled [idea approved](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels/idea%20approved) or [RFC](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels/RFC) are especially welcomed by maintainers and will receive prioritised review.
-
-   If you are proficient with C++, addressing one of the [popular issues](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc) will be highly appreciated by maintainers and Nix users all over the world.
-   For far-reaching changes, please investigate possible blockers and design implications, and coordinate with maintainers before investing too much time in writing code that may not end up getting merged.
-
-   If there is no relevant issue yet and you're not sure whether your change is likely to be accepted, [open an issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/new/choose) yourself.
-
-2. Check for [pull requests](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pulls) that might already cover the contribution you are about to make.
-   There are many open pull requests that might already do what you intend to work on.
-   You can use [labels](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels) to filter for relevant topics.
-
-3. Check the [Nix reference manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/contributing/hacking.html) for information on building Nix and running its tests.
-
-   For contributions to the command line interface, please check the [CLI guidelines](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/contributing/cli-guideline.html).
-
-4. Make your change!
-
-5. [Create a pull request](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request) for your changes.
-   * Clearly explain the problem that you're solving.
-
-     Link related issues to inform interested parties and future contributors about your change.
-     If your pull request closes one or multiple issues, mention that in the description using `Closes: #<number>`, as it will then happen automatically when your change is merged.
-   * Make sure to have [a clean history of commits on your branch by using rebase](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-rebase-and-update-a-pull-request).
-   * [Mark the pull request as draft](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/changing-the-stage-of-a-pull-request) if you're not done with the changes.
-
-6. Do not expect your pull request to be reviewed immediately.
-   Nix maintainers follow a [structured process for reviews and design decisions](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/tree/master/maintainers#project-board-protocol), which may or may not prioritise your work.
-
-   Following this checklist will make the process smoother for everyone:
-
-   - [ ] Fixes an [idea approved](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels/idea%20approved) issue
-   - [ ] Tests, as appropriate:
-     - Functional tests – [`tests/functional/**.sh`](./tests/functional)
-     - Unit tests – [`src/*/tests`](./src/)
-     - Integration tests – [`tests/nixos/*`](./tests/nixos)
-   - [ ] User documentation in the [manual](..doc/manual/src)
-   - [ ] API documentation in header files
-   - [ ] Code and comments are self-explanatory
-   - [ ] Commit message explains **why** the change was made
-   - [ ] New feature or incompatible change: updated [release notes](./doc/manual/src/release-notes/rl-next.md)
-
-7. If you need additional feedback or help to getting pull request into shape, ask other contributors using [@mentions](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#mentioning-people-and-teams).
-
-## Making changes to the Nix manual
-
-The Nix reference manual is hosted on https://nixos.org/manual/nix.
-The underlying source files are located in [`doc/manual/src`](./doc/manual/src).
-For small changes you can [use GitHub to edit these files](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-files/editing-files)
-For larger changes see the [Nix reference manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/contributing/hacking.html).
-
-## Getting help
-
-Whenever you're stuck or do not know how to proceed, you can always ask for help.
-The appropriate channels to do so can be found on the [NixOS Community](https://nixos.org/community/) page.

-// redirects are declared as follows:

-// the following code matches the current page's URL against the set of redirects.
-//
-// it is written to minimize the latency between page load and redirect.
-// therefore we avoid function calls, copying data, and unnecessary loops.
-// IMPORTANT: we use stateful array operations and their order matters!
-//
-// matching URLs is more involved than it should be:
-//
-// 1. `document.location.pathname` can have an arbitrary prefix.
-//
-// 2. `path_to_root` is set by mdBook. it consists only of `../`s and
-//    determines the depth of `<path>` relative to the prefix:
-//
-//          `document.location.pathname`
-//        |------------------------------|
-//        /<prefix>/<path>/[<file>[.html]][#<anchor>]
-//                  |----|
-//              `path_to_root` has same number of path segments
-//
-//    source: https://phaiax.github.io/mdBook/format/theme/index-hbs.html#data
-//
-// 3. the following paths are equivalent:
-//
-//        /foo/bar/
-//        /foo/bar/index.html
-//        /foo/bar/index
-//
-//  4. the following paths are also equivalent:
-//
-//        /foo/bar/baz
-//        /foo/bar/baz.html
-//
-
-let segments = document.location.pathname.split('/');
-
-let file = segments.pop();
-
-// normalize file name
-if (file === '') { file = "index.html"; }
-else if (!file.endsWith('.html')) { file = file + '.html'; }
-
-segments.push(file);
-
-// use `path_to_root` to discern prefix from path.
-const depth = path_to_root.split('/').length;
-
-// remove segments containing prefix. the following works because
-// 1. the original `document.location.pathname` is absolute,
-//    hence first element of `segments` is always empty.
-// 2. last element of splitting `path_to_root` is also always empty.
-// 3. last element of `segments` is the file name.
-//
-// visual example:
-//
-//     '/foo/bar/baz.html'.split('/') -> [ '', 'foo', 'bar', 'baz.html' ]
-//          '../'.split('/')          -> [ '..', '' ]
-//
-// the following operations will then result in
-//
-//     path = 'bar/baz.html'
-//
-segments.splice(0, segments.length - depth);
-const path = segments.join('/');
-
-// anchor starts with the hash character (`#`),
-// but our redirect declarations don't, so we strip it.
-// example:
-//     document.location.hash -> '#foo'
-//     document.location.hash.substring(1) -> 'foo'
-const anchor = document.location.hash.substring(1);
-
-const redirect = redirects[path];
-if (redirect) {
-  const target = redirect[anchor];

-Cooperating Nix derivations could send file descriptors to files in the Nix
-store to each other via Unix domain sockets in the abstract namespace. This
-allowed one derivation to modify the output of the other derivation, after Nix
-has registered the path as "valid" and immutable in the Nix database.
-In particular, this allowed the output of fixed-output derivations to be
-modified from their expected content.

-synopsis: "`<nix/fetchurl.nix>` uses TLS verification"
-prs: [11585]
----
-
-Previously `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` did not do TLS verification. This was because the Nix sandbox in the past did not have access to TLS certificates, and Nix checks the hash of the fetched file anyway. However, this can expose authentication data from `netrc` and URLs to man-in-the-middle attackers. In addition, Nix now in some cases (such as when using impure derivations) does *not* check the hash. Therefore we have now enabled TLS verification. This means that downloads by `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` will now fail if you're fetching from a HTTPS server that does not have a valid certificate.
-
-`<nix/fetchurl.nix>` is also known as the builtin derivation builder `builtin:fetchurl`. It's not to be confused with the evaluation-time function `builtins.fetchurl`, which was not affected by this issue.

-At the top is the [command line interface](../command-ref/command-ref.md) that drives the underlying layers.
-
-The [Nix language](../language/index.md) evaluator transforms Nix expressions into self-contained *build plans*, which are used to derive *build results* from referenced *build inputs*.
-
-The command line interface and Nix expressions are what users deal with most.
-
-> **Note**
->
-> The Nix language itself does not have a notion of *packages* or *configurations*.
-> As far as we are concerned here, the inputs and results of a build plan are just data.
-
-Underlying the command line interface and the Nix language evaluator is the [Nix store](../store/index.md), a mechanism to keep track of build plans, data, and references between them.
-It can also execute build plans to produce new data, which are made available to the operating system as files.
-
-A build plan itself is a series of *build tasks*, together with their build inputs.

 # Description
 
-Nix supports a variety of configuration settings, which are read from configuration files or taken as command line flags.
+By default Nix reads settings from the following places:
 
-## Configuration file
+  - The system-wide configuration file `sysconfdir/nix/nix.conf` (i.e.
+    `/etc/nix/nix.conf` on most systems), or `$NIX_CONF_DIR/nix.conf` if
+    `NIX_CONF_DIR` is set. Values loaded in this file are not forwarded
+    to the Nix daemon. The client assumes that the daemon has already
+    loaded them.
 
-By default Nix reads settings from the following places, in that order:
+  - If `NIX_USER_CONF_FILES` is set, then each path separated by `:`
+    will be loaded in reverse order.
 
-1. The system-wide configuration file `sysconfdir/nix/nix.conf` (i.e. `/etc/nix/nix.conf` on most systems), or `$NIX_CONF_DIR/nix.conf` if [`NIX_CONF_DIR`](./env-common.md#env-NIX_CONF_DIR) is set.
+    Otherwise it will look for `nix/nix.conf` files in `XDG_CONFIG_DIRS`
+    and `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`. If these are unset, it will look in
+    `$HOME/.config/nix.conf`.
 
-   Values loaded in this file are not forwarded to the Nix daemon.
-   The client assumes that the daemon has already loaded them.
+  - If `NIX_CONFIG` is set, its contents is treated as the contents of
+    a configuration file.
 
-1. If [`NIX_USER_CONF_FILES`](./env-common.md#env-NIX_USER_CONF_FILES) is set, then each path separated by `:` will be loaded in reverse order.
+The configuration files consist of `name = value` pairs, one per
+line. Other files can be included with a line like `include path`,
+where *path* is interpreted relative to the current conf file and a
+missing file is an error unless `!include` is used instead. Comments
+start with a `#` character. Here is an example configuration file:
 
-   Otherwise it will look for `nix/nix.conf` files in `XDG_CONFIG_DIRS` and [`XDG_CONFIG_HOME`](./env-common.md#env-XDG_CONFIG_HOME).
-   If unset, `XDG_CONFIG_DIRS` defaults to `/etc/xdg`, and `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` defaults to `$HOME/.config` as per [XDG Base Directory Specification](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html).
+    keep-outputs = true       # Nice for developers
+    keep-derivations = true   # Idem
 
-1. If [`NIX_CONFIG`](./env-common.md#env-NIX_CONFIG) is set, its contents are treated as the contents of a configuration file.
+You can override settings on the command line using the `--option`
+flag, e.g. `--option keep-outputs false`. Every configuration setting
+also has a corresponding command line flag, e.g. `--max-jobs 16`; for
+Boolean settings, there are two flags to enable or disable the setting
+(e.g. `--keep-failed` and `--no-keep-failed`).
 
-### File format
+A configuration setting usually overrides any previous value. However,
+you can prefix the name of the setting by `extra-` to *append* to the
+previous value. For instance,
 
-Configuration files consist of `name = value` pairs, one per line.
-Comments start with a `#` character.
+    substituters = a b
+    extra-substituters = c d
 
-Example:
+defines the `substituters` setting to be `a b c d`. This is also
+available as a command line flag (e.g. `--extra-substituters`).
 
-```
-keep-outputs = true       # Nice for developers
-keep-derivations = true   # Idem
-```
-
-Other files can be included with a line like `include <path>`, where `<path>` is interpreted relative to the current configuration file.
-A missing file is an error unless `!include` is used instead.
-
-A configuration setting usually overrides any previous value.
-However, for settings that take a list of items, you can prefix the name of the setting by `extra-` to *append* to the previous value.

-For instance,

-- `~/.nix-defexpr`
-- `$XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/defexpr` if [`use-xdg-base-directories`] is set to `true`.

-It is loaded as follows:
-
-- If the default expression is a file, it is loaded as a Nix expression.
-- If the default expression is a directory containing a `default.nix` file, that `default.nix` file is loaded as a Nix expression.
-- If the default expression is a directory without a `default.nix` file, then its contents (both files and subdirectories) are loaded as Nix expressions.
-  The expressions are combined into a single attribute set, each expression under an attribute with the same name as the original file or subdirectory.
-  Subdirectories without a `default.nix` file are traversed recursively in search of more Nix expressions, but the names of these intermediate directories are not added to the attribute paths of the default Nix expression.
-
-Then, the resulting expression is interpreted like this:
-
-- If the expression is an attribute set, it is used as the default Nix expression.
-- If the expression is a function, an empty set is passed as argument and the return value is used as the default Nix expression.
-
-
-For example, if the default expression contains two files, `foo.nix` and `bar.nix`, then the default Nix expression will be equivalent to

-## Profiles
-
-A directory that contains links to profiles managed by [`nix-env`] and [`nix profile`]:
-
-- `$XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profiles` for regular users
-- `$NIX_STATE_DIR/profiles/per-user/root` if the user is `root`

-A profile is a directory of symlinks to files in the Nix store.
-
-### Filesystem layout
-
-Profiles are versioned as follows. When using a profile named *path*, *path* is a symlink to *path*`-`*N*`-link`, where *N* is the version of the profile.
-In turn, *path*`-`*N*`-link` is a symlink to a path in the Nix store.
-For example:
-
-```console
-$ ls -l ~alice/.local/state/nix/profiles/profile*
-lrwxrwxrwx 1 alice users 14 Nov 25 14:35 /home/alice/.local/state/nix/profiles/profile -> profile-7-link

+A Nix channel is a mechanism that allows you to automatically stay

+have an effect.
+
+  - `--file` / `-f` *path*\
+    Specifies the Nix expression (designated below as the *active Nix
+    expression*) used by the `--install`, `--upgrade`, and `--query
+    --available` operations to obtain derivations. The default is
+    `~/.nix-defexpr`.
+
+    If the argument starts with `http://` or `https://`, it is

+    Specifies the profile to be used by those operations that operate on
+    a profile (designated below as the *active profile*). A profile is a
+    sequence of user environments called *generations*, one of which is

 # Files
 
-`nix-env` operates on the following files.
+  - `~/.nix-defexpr`\
+    The source for the default Nix expressions used by the
+    `--install`, `--upgrade`, and `--query --available` operations to
+    obtain derivations. The `--file` option may be used to override
+    this default.
 
-{{#include ./files/default-nix-expression.md}}
+    If `~/.nix-defexpr` is a file, it is loaded as a Nix expression. If
+    the expression is a set, it is used as the default Nix expression.
+    If the expression is a function, an empty set is passed as argument
+    and the return value is used as the default Nix expression.
 
-{{#include ./files/profiles.md}}
+    If `~/.nix-defexpr` is a directory containing a `default.nix` file,
+    that file is loaded as in the above paragraph.
+
+    If `~/.nix-defexpr` is a directory without a `default.nix` file,
+    then its contents (both files and subdirectories) are loaded as Nix
+    expressions. The expressions are combined into a single set, each
+    expression under an attribute with the same name as the original
+    file or subdirectory.
+
+    For example, if `~/.nix-defexpr` contains two files, `foo.nix` and
+    `bar.nix`, then the default Nix expression will essentially be
+
+    ```nix
+    {
+      foo = import ~/.nix-defexpr/foo.nix;
+      bar = import ~/.nix-defexpr/bar.nix;
+    }
+    ```
+
+    The file `manifest.nix` is always ignored. Subdirectories without a
+    `default.nix` file are traversed recursively in search of more Nix
+    expressions, but the names of these intermediate directories are not
+    added to the attribute paths of the default Nix expression.
+
+    The command `nix-channel` places symlinks to the downloaded Nix
+    expressions from each subscribed channel in this directory.
+
+  - `~/.nix-profile`\
+    A symbolic link to the user's current profile. By default, this
+    symlink points to `prefix/var/nix/profiles/default`. The `PATH`
+    environment variable should include `~/.nix-profile/bin` for the
+    user environment to be visible to the user.

+# Operation `--install`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-env` {`--install` | `-i`} *args…*
+  [{`--prebuilt-only` | `-b`}]
+  [{`--attr` | `-A`}]
+  [`--from-expression`] [`-E`]
+  [`--from-profile` *path*]
+  [`--preserve-installed` | `-P`]
+  [`--remove-all` | `-r`]
+
+## Description
+
+The install operation creates a new user environment, based on the
+current generation of the active profile, to which a set of store paths
+described by *args* is added. The arguments *args* map to store paths in
+a number of possible ways:
+
+  - By default, *args* is a set of derivation names denoting derivations
+    in the active Nix expression. These are realised, and the resulting
+    output paths are installed. Currently installed derivations with a
+    name equal to the name of a derivation being added are removed
+    unless the option `--preserve-installed` is specified.
+
+    If there are multiple derivations matching a name in *args* that
+    have the same name (e.g., `gcc-3.3.6` and `gcc-4.1.1`), then the
+    derivation with the highest *priority* is used. A derivation can
+    define a priority by declaring the `meta.priority` attribute. This
+    attribute should be a number, with a higher value denoting a lower
+    priority. The default priority is `0`.
+
+    If there are multiple matching derivations with the same priority,
+    then the derivation with the highest version will be installed.
+
+    You can force the installation of multiple derivations with the same
+    name by being specific about the versions. For instance, `nix-env -i
+    gcc-3.3.6 gcc-4.1.1` will install both version of GCC (and will
+    probably cause a user environment conflict\!).
+
+  - If `--attr` (`-A`) is specified, the arguments are *attribute
+    paths* that select attributes from the top-level Nix
+    expression. This is faster than using derivation names and
+    unambiguous. To find out the attribute paths of available
+    packages, use `nix-env -qaP`.
+
+  - If `--from-profile` *path* is given, *args* is a set of names
+    denoting installed store paths in the profile *path*. This is an
+    easy way to copy user environment elements from one profile to
+    another.
+
+  - If `--from-expression` is given, *args* are Nix
+    [functions](../expressions/language-constructs.md#functions)
+    that are called with the active Nix expression as their single
+    argument. The derivations returned by those function calls are
+    installed. This allows derivations to be specified in an
+    unambiguous way, which is necessary if there are multiple
+    derivations with the same name.
+
+  - If *args* are store derivations, then these are
+    [realised](nix-store.md#operation---realise), and the resulting output paths
+    are installed.
+
+  - If *args* are store paths that are not store derivations, then these
+    are [realised](nix-store.md#operation---realise) and installed.
+
+  - By default all outputs are installed for each derivation. That can
+    be reduced by setting `meta.outputsToInstall`.
+
+## Flags
+
+  - `--prebuilt-only` / `-b`\
+    Use only derivations for which a substitute is registered, i.e.,
+    there is a pre-built binary available that can be downloaded in lieu
+    of building the derivation. Thus, no packages will be built from
+    source.
+
+  - `--preserve-installed`; `-P`\
+    Do not remove derivations with a name matching one of the
+    derivations being installed. Usually, trying to have two versions of
+    the same package installed in the same generation of a profile will
+    lead to an error in building the generation, due to file name
+    clashes between the two versions. However, this is not the case for
+    all packages.
+
+  - `--remove-all`; `-r`\
+    Remove all previously installed packages first. This is equivalent
+    to running `nix-env -e '.*'` first, except that everything happens
+    in a single transaction.
+
+## Examples
+
+To install a specific version of `gcc` from the active Nix expression:
+
+```console
+$ nix-env --install gcc-3.3.2
+installing `gcc-3.3.2'
+uninstalling `gcc-3.1'
+```
+
+Note the previously installed version is removed, since
+`--preserve-installed` was not specified.
+
+To install an arbitrary version:
+
+```console
+$ nix-env --install gcc
+installing `gcc-3.3.2'
+```
+
+To install using a specific attribute:
+
+```console
+$ nix-env -i -A gcc40mips
+$ nix-env -i -A xorg.xorgserver
+```
+
+To install all derivations in the Nix expression `foo.nix`:
+
+```console
+$ nix-env -f ~/foo.nix -i '.*'
+```
+
+To copy the store path with symbolic name `gcc` from another profile:
+
+```console
+$ nix-env -i --from-profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/foo gcc
+```
+
+To install a specific store derivation (typically created by
+`nix-instantiate`):
+
+```console
+$ nix-env -i /nix/store/fibjb1bfbpm5mrsxc4mh2d8n37sxh91i-gcc-3.4.3.drv
+```
+
+To install a specific output path:
+
+```console
+$ nix-env -i /nix/store/y3cgx0xj1p4iv9x0pnnmdhr8iyg741vk-gcc-3.4.3
+```
+
+To install from a Nix expression specified on the command-line:
+
+```console
+$ nix-env -f ./foo.nix -i -E \
+    'f: (f {system = "i686-linux";}).subversionWithJava'
+```
+
+I.e., this evaluates to `(f: (f {system =
+"i686-linux";}).subversionWithJava) (import ./foo.nix)`, thus selecting
+the `subversionWithJava` attribute from the set returned by calling the
+function defined in `./foo.nix`.
+
+A dry-run tells you which paths will be downloaded or built from source:
+
+```console
+$ nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -iA hello --dry-run
+(dry run; not doing anything)
+installing ‘hello-2.10’
+this path will be fetched (0.04 MiB download, 0.19 MiB unpacked):
+  /nix/store/wkhdf9jinag5750mqlax6z2zbwhqb76n-hello-2.10
+  ...
+```
+
+To install Firefox from the latest revision in the Nixpkgs/NixOS 14.12
+channel:
+
+```console
+$ nix-env -f https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/nixos-14.12.tar.gz -iA firefox
+```
+
+# Operation `--upgrade`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-env` {`--upgrade` | `-u`} *args*
+  [`--lt` | `--leq` | `--eq` | `--always`]
+  [{`--prebuilt-only` | `-b`}]
+  [{`--attr` | `-A`}]
+  [`--from-expression`] [`-E`]
+  [`--from-profile` *path*]
+  [`--preserve-installed` | `-P`]
+
+## Description
+
+The upgrade operation creates a new user environment, based on the
+current generation of the active profile, in which all store paths are
+replaced for which there are newer versions in the set of paths
+described by *args*. Paths for which there are no newer versions are
+left untouched; this is not an error. It is also not an error if an
+element of *args* matches no installed derivations.
+
+For a description of how *args* is mapped to a set of store paths, see
+[`--install`](#operation---install). If *args* describes multiple
+store paths with the same symbolic name, only the one with the highest
+version is installed.
+
+## Flags
+
+  - `--lt`\
+    Only upgrade a derivation to newer versions. This is the default.
+
+  - `--leq`\
+    In addition to upgrading to newer versions, also “upgrade” to
+    derivations that have the same version. Version are not a unique
+    identification of a derivation, so there may be many derivations
+    that have the same version. This flag may be useful to force
+    “synchronisation” between the installed and available derivations.
+
+  - `--eq`\
+    *Only* “upgrade” to derivations that have the same version. This may
+    not seem very useful, but it actually is, e.g., when there is a new
+    release of Nixpkgs and you want to replace installed applications
+    with the same versions built against newer dependencies (to reduce
+    the number of dependencies floating around on your system).
+
+  - `--always`\
+    In addition to upgrading to newer versions, also “upgrade” to
+    derivations that have the same or a lower version. I.e., derivations
+    may actually be downgraded depending on what is available in the
+    active Nix expression.
+
+For the other flags, see `--install`.
+
+## Examples
+
+```console
+$ nix-env --upgrade gcc
+upgrading `gcc-3.3.1' to `gcc-3.4'
+```
+
+```console
+$ nix-env -u gcc-3.3.2 --always (switch to a specific version)
+upgrading `gcc-3.4' to `gcc-3.3.2'
+```
+
+```console
+$ nix-env --upgrade pan
+(no upgrades available, so nothing happens)
+```
+
+```console
+$ nix-env -u (try to upgrade everything)
+upgrading `hello-2.1.2' to `hello-2.1.3'
+upgrading `mozilla-1.2' to `mozilla-1.4'
+```
+
+## Versions
+
+The upgrade operation determines whether a derivation `y` is an upgrade
+of a derivation `x` by looking at their respective `name` attributes.
+The names (e.g., `gcc-3.3.1` are split into two parts: the package name
+(`gcc`), and the version (`3.3.1`). The version part starts after the
+first dash not followed by a letter. `x` is considered an upgrade of `y`
+if their package names match, and the version of `y` is higher that that
+of `x`.
+
+The versions are compared by splitting them into contiguous components
+of numbers and letters. E.g., `3.3.1pre5` is split into `[3, 3, 1,
+"pre", 5]`. These lists are then compared lexicographically (from left
+to right). Corresponding components `a` and `b` are compared as follows.
+If they are both numbers, integer comparison is used. If `a` is an empty
+string and `b` is a number, `a` is considered less than `b`. The special
+string component `pre` (for *pre-release*) is considered to be less than
+other components. String components are considered less than number
+components. Otherwise, they are compared lexicographically (i.e., using
+case-sensitive string comparison).
+
+This is illustrated by the following examples:
+
+    1.0 < 2.3
+    2.1 < 2.3
+    2.3 = 2.3
+    2.5 > 2.3
+    3.1 > 2.3
+    2.3.1 > 2.3
+    2.3.1 > 2.3a
+    2.3pre1 < 2.3
+    2.3pre3 < 2.3pre12
+    2.3a < 2.3c
+    2.3pre1 < 2.3c
+    2.3pre1 < 2.3q
+
+# Operation `--uninstall`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-env` {`--uninstall` | `-e`} *drvnames…*
+
+## Description
+
+The uninstall operation creates a new user environment, based on the
+current generation of the active profile, from which the store paths
+designated by the symbolic names *drvnames* are removed.
+
+## Examples
+
+```console
+$ nix-env --uninstall gcc
+$ nix-env -e '.*' (remove everything)
+```
+
+# Operation `--set`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-env` `--set` *drvname*
+
+## Description
+
+The `--set` operation modifies the current generation of a profile so
+that it contains exactly the specified derivation, and nothing else.
+
+## Examples
+
+The following updates a profile such that its current generation will
+contain just Firefox:
+
+```console
+$ nix-env -p /nix/var/nix/profiles/browser --set firefox
+```
+
+# Operation `--set-flag`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-env` `--set-flag` *name* *value* *drvnames*
+
+## Description
+
+The `--set-flag` operation allows meta attributes of installed packages
+to be modified. There are several attributes that can be usefully
+modified, because they affect the behaviour of `nix-env` or the user
+environment build script:
+
+  - `priority` can be changed to resolve filename clashes. The user
+    environment build script uses the `meta.priority` attribute of
+    derivations to resolve filename collisions between packages. Lower
+    priority values denote a higher priority. For instance, the GCC
+    wrapper package and the Binutils package in Nixpkgs both have a file
+    `bin/ld`, so previously if you tried to install both you would get a
+    collision. Now, on the other hand, the GCC wrapper declares a higher
+    priority than Binutils, so the former’s `bin/ld` is symlinked in the
+    user environment.
+
+  - `keep` can be set to `true` to prevent the package from being
+    upgraded or replaced. This is useful if you want to hang on to an
+    older version of a package.
+
+  - `active` can be set to `false` to “disable” the package. That is, no
+    symlinks will be generated to the files of the package, but it
+    remains part of the profile (so it won’t be garbage-collected). It
+    can be set back to `true` to re-enable the package.
+
+## Examples
+
+To prevent the currently installed Firefox from being upgraded:
+
+```console
+$ nix-env --set-flag keep true firefox
+```
+
+After this, `nix-env -u` will ignore Firefox.
+
+To disable the currently installed Firefox, then install a new Firefox
+while the old remains part of the profile:
+
+```console
+$ nix-env -q
+firefox-2.0.0.9 (the current one)
+
+$ nix-env --preserve-installed -i firefox-2.0.0.11
+installing `firefox-2.0.0.11'
+building path(s) `/nix/store/myy0y59q3ig70dgq37jqwg1j0rsapzsl-user-environment'
+collision between `/nix/store/...-firefox-2.0.0.11/bin/firefox'
+  and `/nix/store/...-firefox-2.0.0.9/bin/firefox'.
+(i.e., can’t have two active at the same time)
+
+$ nix-env --set-flag active false firefox
+setting flag on `firefox-2.0.0.9'
+
+$ nix-env --preserve-installed -i firefox-2.0.0.11
+installing `firefox-2.0.0.11'
+
+$ nix-env -q
+firefox-2.0.0.11 (the enabled one)
+firefox-2.0.0.9 (the disabled one)
+```
+
+To make files from `binutils` take precedence over files from `gcc`:
+
+```console
+$ nix-env --set-flag priority 5 binutils
+$ nix-env --set-flag priority 10 gcc
+```
+
+# Operation `--query`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-env` {`--query` | `-q`} *names…*

+  [{`--status` | `-s`}]
+  [{`--attr-path` | `-P`}]

+  [`--meta`]
+  [`--xml`]
+  [`--json`]
+  [{`--prebuilt-only` | `-b`}]
+  [{`--attr` | `-A`} *attribute-path*]
+
+## Description
+
+The query operation displays information about either the store paths
+that are installed in the current generation of the active profile
+(`--installed`), or the derivations that are available for installation
+in the active Nix expression (`--available`). It only prints information
+about derivations whose symbolic name matches one of *names*.
+
+The derivations are sorted by their `name` attributes.
+
+## Source selection
+
+The following flags specify the set of things on which the query
+operates.
+
+  - `--installed`\
+    The query operates on the store paths that are installed in the
+    current generation of the active profile. This is the default.
+
+  - `--available`; `-a`\
+    The query operates on the derivations that are available in the
+    active Nix expression.
+
+## Queries
+
+The following flags specify what information to display about the
+selected derivations. Multiple flags may be specified, in which case the
+information is shown in the order given here. Note that the name of the
+derivation is shown unless `--no-name` is specified.
+
+  - `--xml`\
+    Print the result in an XML representation suitable for automatic
+    processing by other tools. The root element is called `items`, which
+    contains a `item` element for each available or installed
+    derivation. The fields discussed below are all stored in attributes
+    of the `item` elements.
+
+  - `--json`\
+    Print the result in a JSON representation suitable for automatic
+    processing by other tools.
+
+  - `--prebuilt-only` / `-b`\
+    Show only derivations for which a substitute is registered, i.e.,
+    there is a pre-built binary available that can be downloaded in lieu
+    of building the derivation. Thus, this shows all packages that
+    probably can be installed quickly.
+
+  - `--status`; `-s`\
+    Print the *status* of the derivation. The status consists of three
+    characters. The first is `I` or `-`, indicating whether the
+    derivation is currently installed in the current generation of the
+    active profile. This is by definition the case for `--installed`,
+    but not for `--available`. The second is `P` or `-`, indicating
+    whether the derivation is present on the system. This indicates
+    whether installation of an available derivation will require the
+    derivation to be built. The third is `S` or `-`, indicating whether
+    a substitute is available for the derivation.
+
+  - `--attr-path`; `-P`\
+    Print the *attribute path* of the derivation, which can be used to
+    unambiguously select it using the `--attr` option available in
+    commands that install derivations like `nix-env --install`. This
+    option only works together with `--available`
+
+  - `--no-name`\
+    Suppress printing of the `name` attribute of each derivation.
+
+  - `--compare-versions` / `-c`\
+    Compare installed versions to available versions, or vice versa (if
+    `--available` is given). This is useful for quickly seeing whether
+    upgrades for installed packages are available in a Nix expression. A
+    column is added with the following meaning:
+
+      - `<` *version*\
+        A newer version of the package is available or installed.
+
+      - `=` *version*\
+        At most the same version of the package is available or
+        installed.
+
+      - `>` *version*\
+        Only older versions of the package are available or installed.
+
+      - `- ?`\
+        No version of the package is available or installed.
+
+  - `--system`\
+    Print the `system` attribute of the derivation.
+
+  - `--drv-path`\
+    Print the path of the store derivation.
+
+  - `--out-path`\
+    Print the output path of the derivation.
+
+  - `--description`\
+    Print a short (one-line) description of the derivation, if
+    available. The description is taken from the `meta.description`
+    attribute of the derivation.
+
+  - `--meta`\
+    Print all of the meta-attributes of the derivation. This option is
+    only available with `--xml` or `--json`.
+

+
+## Description
+
+This operation makes *path* the current profile for the user. That is,

+This operation print a list of all the currently existing generations
+for the active profile. These may be switched to using the
+`--switch-generation` operation. It also prints the creation date of the
+generation, and indicates the current generation.
+
+## Examples
+
+```console

+# Operation `--delete-generations`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-env` `--delete-generations` *generations*
+
+## Description
+
+This operation deletes the specified generations of the current profile.
+The generations can be a list of generation numbers, the special value
+`old` to delete all non-current generations, a value such as `30d` to
+delete all generations older than the specified number of days (except
+for the generation that was active at that point in time), or a value
+such as `+5` to keep the last `5` generations ignoring any newer than
+current, e.g., if `30` is the current generation `+5` will delete
+generation `25` and all older generations. Periodically deleting old
+generations is important to make garbage collection effective.
+
+## Examples
+
+```console
+$ nix-env --delete-generations 3 4 8
+```
+
+```console
+$ nix-env --delete-generations +5
+```
+
+```console
+$ nix-env --delete-generations 30d
+```
+
+```console
+$ nix-env -p other_profile --delete-generations old
+```
+
+# Operation `--switch-generation`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-env` {`--switch-generation` | `-G`} *generation*
+
+## Description
+
+This operation makes generation number *generation* the current
+generation of the active profile. That is, if the `profile` is the path
+to the active profile, then the symlink `profile` is made to point to
+`profile-generation-link`, which is in turn a symlink to the actual user
+environment in the Nix store.
+
+Switching will fail if the specified generation does not exist.
+
+## Examples
+
+```console
+$ nix-env -G 42
+switching from generation 50 to 42
+```
+
+# Operation `--rollback`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-env` `--rollback`
+
+## Description
+
+This operation switches to the “previous” generation of the active
+profile, that is, the highest numbered generation lower than the current
+generation, if it exists. It is just a convenience wrapper around
+`--list-generations` and `--switch-generation`.
+
+## Examples
+
+```console
+$ nix-env --rollback
+switching from generation 92 to 91
+```
+
+```console
+$ nix-env --rollback
+error: no generation older than the current (91) exists
+```
+
+# Environment variables

-# Synopsis
-

-
-# Description
-
-This operation deletes the specified generations of the current profile.
-
-*generations* can be a one of the following:
-
-- <span id="generations-list">`<number>...`</span>:\
-  A list of generation numbers, each one a separate command-line argument.
-
-  Delete exactly the profile generations given by their generation number.
-  Deleting the current generation is not allowed.
-
-- The special value <span id="generations-old">`old`</span>
-
-  Delete all generations except the current one.
-
-  > **WARNING**
-  >
-  > Older *and newer* generations will be deleted by this operation.
-  >
-  > One might expect this to just delete older generations than the curent one, but that is only true if the current generation is also the latest.
-  > Because one can roll back to a previous generation, it is possible to have generations newer than the current one.
-  > They will also be deleted.
-
-- <span id="generations-time">`<number>d`</span>:\
-  The last *number* days
-
-  *Example*: `30d`
-
-  Delete all generations created more than *number* days ago, except the most recent one of them.
-  This allows rolling back to generations that were available within the specified period.
-
-- <span id="generations-count">`+<number>`</span>:\
-  The last *number* generations up to the present
-
-  *Example*: `+5`
-
-  Keep the last *number* generations, along with any newer than current.
-
-Periodically deleting old generations is important to make garbage collection
-effective.
-The is because profiles are also garbage collection roots — any [store object] reachable from a profile is "alive" and ineligible for deletion.

-
-```console

-
-## Keep most-recent by count (number of generations)
-
-```console

-```
-
-Suppose `30` is the current generation, and we currently have generations numbered `20` through `32`.

-# Name

-`nix-env --install` - add packages to user environment
-
-# Synopsis
-
-`nix-env` {`--install` | `-i`} *args…*
-  [{`--prebuilt-only` | `-b`}]
-  [{`--attr` | `-A`}]
-  [`--from-expression`] [`-E`]
-  [`--from-profile` *path*]
-  [`--preserve-installed` | `-P`]
-  [`--remove-all` | `-r`]
-
-# Description
-
-The install operation creates a new user environment.
-It is based on the current generation of the active [profile](@docroot@/command-ref/files/profiles.md), to which a set of [store paths] described by *args* is added.
-
-[store paths]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-path
-
-The arguments *args* map to store paths in a number of possible ways:
-
-
-  - By default, *args* is a set of [derivation] names denoting derivations in the [default Nix expression].
-    These are [realised], and the resulting output paths are installed.
-    Currently installed derivations with a name equal to the name of a derivation being added are removed unless the option `--preserve-installed` is specified.
-
-    [derivation]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-derivation
-    [default Nix expression]: @docroot@/command-ref/files/default-nix-expression.md
-    [realised]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-realise
-
-    If there are multiple derivations matching a name in *args* that
-    have the same name (e.g., `gcc-3.3.6` and `gcc-4.1.1`), then the
-    derivation with the highest *priority* is used. A derivation can
-    define a priority by declaring the `meta.priority` attribute. This
-    attribute should be a number, with a higher value denoting a lower
-    priority. The default priority is `5`.
-
-    If there are multiple matching derivations with the same priority,
-    then the derivation with the highest version will be installed.
-
-    You can force the installation of multiple derivations with the same
-    name by being specific about the versions. For instance, `nix-env --install
-    gcc-3.3.6 gcc-4.1.1` will install both version of GCC (and will
-    probably cause a user environment conflict\!).
-
-  - If [`--attr`](#opt-attr) / `-A` is specified, the arguments are *attribute paths* that select attributes from the [default Nix expression].
-    This is faster than using derivation names and unambiguous.
-    Show the attribute paths of available packages with [`nix-env --query`](./query.md):
-
-    ```console
-    nix-env --query --available --attr-path`
-    ```
-
-  - If `--from-profile` *path* is given, *args* is a set of names
-    denoting installed [store paths] in the profile *path*. This is an
-    easy way to copy user environment elements from one profile to
-    another.
-
-  - If `--from-expression` is given, *args* are [Nix language functions](@docroot@/language/constructs.md#functions) that are called with the [default Nix expression] as their single argument.
-    The derivations returned by those function calls are installed.
-    This allows derivations to be specified in an unambiguous way, which is necessary if there are multiple derivations with the same name.
-
-  - If *args* are [store derivations](@docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-derivation), then these are [realised], and the resulting output paths are installed.
-
-  - If *args* are [store paths] that are not store derivations, then these are [realised] and installed.
-
-  - By default all [outputs](@docroot@/language/derivations.md#attr-outputs) are installed for each [derivation].
-    This can be overridden by adding a `meta.outputsToInstall` attribute on the derivation listing a subset of the output names.
-
-    Example:
-
-    The file `example.nix` defines a derivation with two outputs `foo` and `bar`, each containing a file.
-
-    ```nix
-    # example.nix
-    let
-      pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
-      command = ''
-        ${pkgs.coreutils}/bin/mkdir -p $foo $bar
-        echo foo > $foo/foo-file
-        echo bar > $bar/bar-file
-      '';
-    in
-    derivation {
-      name = "example";
-      builder = "${pkgs.bash}/bin/bash";
-      args = [ "-c" command ];
-      outputs = [ "foo" "bar" ];
-      system = builtins.currentSystem;
-    }
-    ```
-
-    Installing from this Nix expression will make files from both outputs appear in the current profile.
-
-    ```console
-    $ nix-env --install --file example.nix
-    installing 'example'
-    $ ls ~/.nix-profile
-    foo-file
-    bar-file
-    manifest.nix
-    ```
-
-    Adding `meta.outputsToInstall` to that derivation will make `nix-env` only install files from the specified outputs.
-
-    ```nix
-    # example-outputs.nix
-    import ./example.nix // { meta.outputsToInstall = [ "bar" ]; }
-    ```
-
-    ```console
-    $ nix-env --install --file example-outputs.nix
-    installing 'example'
-    $ ls ~/.nix-profile
-    bar-file
-    manifest.nix
-    ```
-
-# Options
-
-  - `--prebuilt-only` / `-b`
-
-    Use only derivations for which a substitute is registered, i.e.,
-    there is a pre-built binary available that can be downloaded in lieu
-    of building the derivation. Thus, no packages will be built from
-    source.
-
-  - `--preserve-installed` / `-P`
-
-    Do not remove derivations with a name matching one of the
-    derivations being installed. Usually, trying to have two versions of
-    the same package installed in the same generation of a profile will
-    lead to an error in building the generation, due to file name
-    clashes between the two versions. However, this is not the case for
-    all packages.
-
-  - `--remove-all` / `-r`
-
-    Remove all previously installed packages first. This is equivalent
-    to running `nix-env --uninstall '.*'` first, except that everything happens
-    in a single transaction.

-# Examples
-
-To install a package using a specific attribute path from the active Nix expression:
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --install --attr gcc40mips
-installing `gcc-4.0.2'
-$ nix-env --install --attr xorg.xorgserver
-installing `xorg-server-1.2.0'
-```
-
-To install a specific version of `gcc` using the derivation name:
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --install gcc-3.3.2
-installing `gcc-3.3.2'
-uninstalling `gcc-3.1'
-```
-
-Using attribute path for selecting a package is preferred,
-as it is much faster and there will not be multiple matches.
-
-Note the previously installed version is removed, since
-`--preserve-installed` was not specified.
-
-To install an arbitrary version:
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --install gcc
-installing `gcc-3.3.2'
-```
-
-To install all derivations in the Nix expression `foo.nix`:
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --file ~/foo.nix --install '.*'
-```
-
-To copy the store path with symbolic name `gcc` from another profile:
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --install --from-profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/foo gcc
-```
-
-To install a specific [store derivation] (typically created by
-`nix-instantiate`):
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --install /nix/store/fibjb1bfbpm5mrsxc4mh2d8n37sxh91i-gcc-3.4.3.drv
-```
-
-To install a specific output path:
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --install /nix/store/y3cgx0xj1p4iv9x0pnnmdhr8iyg741vk-gcc-3.4.3
-```
-
-To install from a Nix expression specified on the command-line:
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --file ./foo.nix --install --expr \
-    'f: (f {system = "i686-linux";}).subversionWithJava'
-```
-
-I.e., this evaluates to `(f: (f {system =
-"i686-linux";}).subversionWithJava) (import ./foo.nix)`, thus selecting
-the `subversionWithJava` attribute from the set returned by calling the
-function defined in `./foo.nix`.
-
-A dry-run tells you which paths will be downloaded or built from source:
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --file '<nixpkgs>' --install --attr hello --dry-run
-(dry run; not doing anything)
-installing ‘hello-2.10’
-this path will be fetched (0.04 MiB download, 0.19 MiB unpacked):
-  /nix/store/wkhdf9jinag5750mqlax6z2zbwhqb76n-hello-2.10
-  ...
-```
-
-To install Firefox from the latest revision in the Nixpkgs/NixOS 14.12
-channel:
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --file https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/nixos-14.12.tar.gz --install --attr firefox

-# Description
-
-The query operation displays information about either the store paths

-(`--installed`), or the derivations that are available for installation
-in the active Nix expression (`--available`). It only prints information
-about derivations whose symbolic name matches one of *names*.

-
-# Source selection
-
-The following flags specify the set of things on which the query
-operates.
-
-  - `--installed`\
-    The query operates on the store paths that are installed in the
-    current generation of the active profile. This is the default.
-
-  - `--available`; `-a`\
-    The query operates on the derivations that are available in the
-    active Nix expression.
-
-# Queries
-
-The following flags specify what information to display about the
-selected derivations. Multiple flags may be specified, in which case the
-information is shown in the order given here. Note that the name of the
-derivation is shown unless `--no-name` is specified.
-
-  - `--xml`\
-    Print the result in an XML representation suitable for automatic
-    processing by other tools. The root element is called `items`, which
-    contains a `item` element for each available or installed
-    derivation. The fields discussed below are all stored in attributes
-    of the `item` elements.
-
-  - `--json`\
-    Print the result in a JSON representation suitable for automatic
-    processing by other tools.
-
-  - `--prebuilt-only` / `-b`\
-    Show only derivations for which a substitute is registered, i.e.,
-    there is a pre-built binary available that can be downloaded in lieu
-    of building the derivation. Thus, this shows all packages that
-    probably can be installed quickly.
-
-  - `--status`; `-s`\
-    Print the *status* of the derivation. The status consists of three
-    characters. The first is `I` or `-`, indicating whether the
-    derivation is currently installed in the current generation of the
-    active profile. This is by definition the case for `--installed`,
-    but not for `--available`. The second is `P` or `-`, indicating
-    whether the derivation is present on the system. This indicates
-    whether installation of an available derivation will require the
-    derivation to be built. The third is `S` or `-`, indicating whether
-    a substitute is available for the derivation.
-
-  - `--attr-path`; `-P`\
-    Print the *attribute path* of the derivation, which can be used to
-    unambiguously select it using the `--attr` option available in
-    commands that install derivations like `nix-env --install`. This
-    option only works together with `--available`
-
-  - `--no-name`\
-    Suppress printing of the `name` attribute of each derivation.
-
-  - `--compare-versions` / `-c`\
-    Compare installed versions to available versions, or vice versa (if
-    `--available` is given). This is useful for quickly seeing whether
-    upgrades for installed packages are available in a Nix expression. A
-    column is added with the following meaning:
-
-      - `<` *version*\
-        A newer version of the package is available or installed.
-
-      - `=` *version*\
-        At most the same version of the package is available or
-        installed.
-
-      - `>` *version*\
-        Only older versions of the package are available or installed.
-
-      - `- ?`\
-        No version of the package is available or installed.
-
-  - `--system`\
-    Print the `system` attribute of the derivation.
-
-  - `--drv-path`\
-    Print the path of the [store derivation](@docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-derivation).
-
-  - `--out-path`\
-    Print the output path of the derivation.
-

-
-# Synopsis
-
-`nix-env` `--set-flag` *name* *value* *drvnames*
-
-# Description
-
-The `--set-flag` operation allows meta attributes of installed packages
-to be modified. There are several attributes that can be usefully
-modified, because they affect the behaviour of `nix-env` or the user
-environment build script:
-
-  - `priority` can be changed to resolve filename clashes. The user
-    environment build script uses the `meta.priority` attribute of
-    derivations to resolve filename collisions between packages. Lower
-    priority values denote a higher priority. For instance, the GCC
-    wrapper package and the Binutils package in Nixpkgs both have a file
-    `bin/ld`, so previously if you tried to install both you would get a
-    collision. Now, on the other hand, the GCC wrapper declares a higher
-    priority than Binutils, so the former’s `bin/ld` is symlinked in the
-    user environment.
-
-  - `keep` can be set to `true` to prevent the package from being
-    upgraded or replaced. This is useful if you want to hang on to an
-    older version of a package.
-
-  - `active` can be set to `false` to “disable” the package. That is, no
-    symlinks will be generated to the files of the package, but it
-    remains part of the profile (so it won’t be garbage-collected). It
-    can be set back to `true` to re-enable the package.
-
-{{#include ./opt-common.md}}

-

-```
-
-After this, `nix-env --upgrade ` will ignore Firefox.
-

-For a description of how *args* is mapped to a set of store paths, see
-[`--install`](#operation---install). If *args* describes multiple
-store paths with the same symbolic name, only the one with the highest
-version is installed.
-
-# Flags
-
-  - `--lt`\
-    Only upgrade a derivation to newer versions. This is the default.
-
-  - `--leq`\
-    In addition to upgrading to newer versions, also “upgrade” to
-    derivations that have the same version. Version are not a unique
-    identification of a derivation, so there may be many derivations
-    that have the same version. This flag may be useful to force
-    “synchronisation” between the installed and available derivations.
-
-  - `--eq`\
-    *Only* “upgrade” to derivations that have the same version. This may
-    not seem very useful, but it actually is, e.g., when there is a new
-    release of Nixpkgs and you want to replace installed applications
-    with the same versions built against newer dependencies (to reduce
-    the number of dependencies floating around on your system).
-
-  - `--always`\
-    In addition to upgrading to newer versions, also “upgrade” to
-    derivations that have the same or a lower version. I.e., derivations
-    may actually be downgraded depending on what is available in the
-    active Nix expression.
-
-  - `--prebuilt-only` / `-b`\
-    Use only derivations for which a substitute is registered, i.e.,
-    there is a pre-built binary available that can be downloaded in lieu
-    of building the derivation. Thus, no packages will be built from
-    source.
-
-  - `--preserve-installed` / `-P`\
-    Do not remove derivations with a name matching one of the
-    derivations being installed. Usually, trying to have two versions of
-    the same package installed in the same generation of a profile will
-    lead to an error in building the generation, due to file name
-    clashes between the two versions. However, this is not the case for
-    all packages.

-```
-
-When there are no updates available, nothing will happen:
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --upgrade --attr nixpkgs.pan
-```
-
-Using `-A` is preferred when possible, as it is faster and unambiguous but
-it is also possible to upgrade to a specific version by matching the derivation name:
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --upgrade gcc-3.3.2 --always
-upgrading `gcc-3.4' to `gcc-3.3.2'
-```
-
-To try to upgrade everything
-(matching packages based on the part of the derivation name without version):
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --upgrade
-upgrading `hello-2.1.2' to `hello-2.1.3'
-upgrading `mozilla-1.2' to `mozilla-1.4'
-```
-
-# Versions
-
-The upgrade operation determines whether a derivation `y` is an upgrade
-of a derivation `x` by looking at their respective `name` attributes.
-The names (e.g., `gcc-3.3.1` are split into two parts: the package name
-(`gcc`), and the version (`3.3.1`). The version part starts after the
-first dash not followed by a letter. `y` is considered an upgrade of `x`
-if their package names match, and the version of `y` is higher than that
-of `x`.
-
-The versions are compared by splitting them into contiguous components
-of numbers and letters. E.g., `3.3.1pre5` is split into `[3, 3, 1,
-"pre", 5]`. These lists are then compared lexicographically (from left
-to right). Corresponding components `a` and `b` are compared as follows.
-If they are both numbers, integer comparison is used. If `a` is an empty
-string and `b` is a number, `a` is considered less than `b`. The special
-string component `pre` (for *pre-release*) is considered to be less than
-other components. String components are considered less than number
-components. Otherwise, they are compared lexicographically (i.e., using
-case-sensitive string comparison).
-
-This is illustrated by the following examples:
-
-    1.0 < 2.3
-    2.1 < 2.3
-    2.3 = 2.3
-    2.5 > 2.3
-    3.1 > 2.3
-    2.3.1 > 2.3
-    2.3.1 > 2.3a
-    2.3pre1 < 2.3
-    2.3pre3 < 2.3pre12
-    2.3a < 2.3c
-    2.3pre1 < 2.3c
-    2.3pre1 < 2.3q

+
+# Operation `--realise`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-store` {`--realise` | `-r`} *paths…* [`--dry-run`]
+
+## Description
+
+The operation `--realise` essentially “builds” the specified store
+paths. Realisation is a somewhat overloaded term:
+
+  - If the store path is a *derivation*, realisation ensures that the
+    output paths of the derivation are [valid](../glossary.md) (i.e.,
+    the output path and its closure exist in the file system). This
+    can be done in several ways. First, it is possible that the
+    outputs are already valid, in which case we are done
+    immediately. Otherwise, there may be [substitutes](../glossary.md)
+    that produce the outputs (e.g., by downloading them). Finally, the
+    outputs can be produced by performing the build action described
+    by the derivation.
+
+  - If the store path is not a derivation, realisation ensures that the
+    specified path is valid (i.e., it and its closure exist in the file
+    system). If the path is already valid, we are done immediately.
+    Otherwise, the path and any missing paths in its closure may be
+    produced through substitutes. If there are no (successful)
+    substitutes, realisation fails.
+
+The output path of each derivation is printed on standard output. (For
+non-derivations argument, the argument itself is printed.)
+
+The following flags are available:
+
+  - `--dry-run`\
+    Print on standard error a description of what packages would be
+    built or downloaded, without actually performing the operation.
+
+  - `--ignore-unknown`\
+    If a non-derivation path does not have a substitute, then silently
+    ignore it.
+
+  - `--check`\
+    This option allows you to check whether a derivation is
+    deterministic. It rebuilds the specified derivation and checks
+    whether the result is bitwise-identical with the existing outputs,
+    printing an error if that’s not the case. The outputs of the
+    specified derivation must already exist. When used with `-K`, if an
+    output path is not identical to the corresponding output from the
+    previous build, the new output path is left in
+    `/nix/store/name.check.`
+
+    See also the `build-repeat` configuration option, which repeats a
+    derivation a number of times and prevents its outputs from being
+    registered as “valid” in the Nix store unless they are identical.
+
+Special exit codes:
+
+  - `100`\
+    Generic build failure, the builder process returned with a non-zero
+    exit code.
+
+  - `101`\
+    Build timeout, the build was aborted because it did not complete
+    within the specified `timeout`.
+
+  - `102`\
+    Hash mismatch, the build output was rejected because it does not
+    match the [`outputHash` attribute of the
+    derivation](../expressions/advanced-attributes.md).
+
+  - `104`\
+    Not deterministic, the build succeeded in check mode but the
+    resulting output is not binary reproducable.
+
+With the `--keep-going` flag it's possible for multiple failures to
+occur, in this case the 1xx status codes are or combined using binary
+or.

+## Examples
+
+This operation is typically used to build store derivations produced by

+```console
+$ nix-store -r $(nix-instantiate ./test.nix)
+/nix/store/31axcgrlbfsxzmfff1gyj1bf62hvkby2-aterm-2.3.1
+```
+
+This is essentially what [`nix-build`](nix-build.md) does.
+
+To test whether a previously-built derivation is deterministic:
+
+```console
+$ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello --check -K
+```
+
+# Operation `--serve`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-store` `--serve` [`--write`]
+
+## Description
+
+The operation `--serve` provides access to the Nix store over stdin and
+stdout, and is intended to be used as a means of providing Nix store
+access to a restricted ssh user.
+
+The following flags are available:
+
+  - `--write`\
+    Allow the connected client to request the realization of
+    derivations. In effect, this can be used to make the host act as a
+    remote builder.
+
+## Examples
+
+To turn a host into a build server, the `authorized_keys` file can be
+used to provide build access to a given SSH public key:
+
+```console
+$ cat <<EOF >>/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
+command="nice -n20 nix-store --serve --write" ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAA...
+EOF
+```
+
+# Operation `--gc`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-store` `--gc` [`--print-roots` | `--print-live` | `--print-dead`] [`--max-freed` *bytes*]
+
+## Description
+
+Without additional flags, the operation `--gc` performs a garbage
+collection on the Nix store. That is, all paths in the Nix store not
+reachable via file system references from a set of “roots”, are deleted.
+
+The following suboperations may be specified:
+
+  - `--print-roots`\
+    This operation prints on standard output the set of roots used by
+    the garbage collector.
+
+  - `--print-live`\
+    This operation prints on standard output the set of “live” store
+    paths, which are all the store paths reachable from the roots. Live
+    paths should never be deleted, since that would break consistency —
+    it would become possible that applications are installed that
+    reference things that are no longer present in the store.
+
+  - `--print-dead`\
+    This operation prints out on standard output the set of “dead” store
+    paths, which is just the opposite of the set of live paths: any path
+    in the store that is not live (with respect to the roots) is dead.
+
+By default, all unreachable paths are deleted. The following options
+control what gets deleted and in what order:
+
+  - `--max-freed` *bytes*\
+    Keep deleting paths until at least *bytes* bytes have been deleted,
+    then stop. The argument *bytes* can be followed by the
+    multiplicative suffix `K`, `M`, `G` or `T`, denoting KiB, MiB, GiB
+    or TiB units.
+
+The behaviour of the collector is also influenced by the
+`keep-outputs` and `keep-derivations` settings in the Nix
+configuration file.
+
+By default, the collector prints the total number of freed bytes when it
+finishes (or when it is interrupted). With `--print-dead`, it prints the
+number of bytes that would be freed.
+
+## Examples
+
+To delete all unreachable paths, just do:
+
+```console
+$ nix-store --gc
+deleting `/nix/store/kq82idx6g0nyzsp2s14gfsc38npai7lf-cairo-1.0.4.tar.gz.drv'
+...
+8825586 bytes freed (8.42 MiB)
+```
+
+To delete at least 100 MiBs of unreachable paths:
+
+```console
+$ nix-store --gc --max-freed $((100 * 1024 * 1024))
+```
+
+# Operation `--delete`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-store` `--delete` [`--ignore-liveness`] *paths…*
+
+## Description
+
+The operation `--delete` deletes the store paths *paths* from the Nix
+store, but only if it is safe to do so; that is, when the path is not
+reachable from a root of the garbage collector. This means that you can
+only delete paths that would also be deleted by `nix-store --gc`. Thus,
+`--delete` is a more targeted version of `--gc`.
+
+With the option `--ignore-liveness`, reachability from the roots is
+ignored. However, the path still won’t be deleted if there are other
+paths in the store that refer to it (i.e., depend on it).
+
+## Example
+
+```console
+$ nix-store --delete /nix/store/zq0h41l75vlb4z45kzgjjmsjxvcv1qk7-mesa-6.4
+0 bytes freed (0.00 MiB)
+error: cannot delete path `/nix/store/zq0h41l75vlb4z45kzgjjmsjxvcv1qk7-mesa-6.4' since it is still alive
+```
+
+# Operation `--query`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-store` {`--query` | `-q`}
+  {`--outputs` | `--requisites` | `-R` | `--references` |
+  `--referrers` | `--referrers-closure` | `--deriver` | `-d` |
+  `--graph` | `--tree` | `--binding` *name* | `-b` *name* | `--hash` |
+  `--size` | `--roots`}
+  [`--use-output`] [`-u`] [`--force-realise`] [`-f`]
+  *paths…*
+
+## Description
+
+The operation `--query` displays various bits of information about the
+store paths . The queries are described below. At most one query can be
+specified. The default query is `--outputs`.
+
+The paths *paths* may also be symlinks from outside of the Nix store, to
+the Nix store. In that case, the query is applied to the target of the
+symlink.
+
+## Common query options
+
+  - `--use-output`; `-u`\
+    For each argument to the query that is a store derivation, apply the
+    query to the output path of the derivation instead.
+
+  - `--force-realise`; `-f`\
+    Realise each argument to the query first (see [`nix-store
+    --realise`](#operation---realise)).
+
+## Queries
+
+  - `--outputs`\
+    Prints out the [output paths](../glossary.md) of the store
+    derivations *paths*. These are the paths that will be produced when
+    the derivation is built.
+
+  - `--requisites`; `-R`\
+    Prints out the [closure](../glossary.md) of the store path *paths*.
+
+    This query has one option:
+
+      - `--include-outputs`
+        Also include the output path of store derivations, and their
+        closures.
+
+    This query can be used to implement various kinds of deployment. A
+    *source deployment* is obtained by distributing the closure of a
+    store derivation. A *binary deployment* is obtained by distributing
+    the closure of an output path. A *cache deployment* (combined
+    source/binary deployment, including binaries of build-time-only
+    dependencies) is obtained by distributing the closure of a store
+    derivation and specifying the option `--include-outputs`.
+
+  - `--references`\
+    Prints the set of [references](../glossary.md) of the store paths
+    *paths*, that is, their immediate dependencies. (For *all*
+    dependencies, use `--requisites`.)
+
+  - `--referrers`\
+    Prints the set of *referrers* of the store paths *paths*, that is,
+    the store paths currently existing in the Nix store that refer to
+    one of *paths*. Note that contrary to the references, the set of
+    referrers is not constant; it can change as store paths are added or
+    removed.
+
+  - `--referrers-closure`\
+    Prints the closure of the set of store paths *paths* under the
+    referrers relation; that is, all store paths that directly or
+    indirectly refer to one of *paths*. These are all the path currently
+    in the Nix store that are dependent on *paths*.
+
+  - `--deriver`; `-d`\
+    Prints the [deriver](../glossary.md) of the store paths *paths*. If
+    the path has no deriver (e.g., if it is a source file), or if the
+    deriver is not known (e.g., in the case of a binary-only
+    deployment), the string `unknown-deriver` is printed.
+
+  - `--graph`\
+    Prints the references graph of the store paths *paths* in the format
+    of the `dot` tool of AT\&T's [Graphviz
+    package](http://www.graphviz.org/). This can be used to visualise
+    dependency graphs. To obtain a build-time dependency graph, apply
+    this to a store derivation. To obtain a runtime dependency graph,
+    apply it to an output path.
+
+  - `--tree`\
+    Prints the references graph of the store paths *paths* as a nested
+    ASCII tree. References are ordered by descending closure size; this
+    tends to flatten the tree, making it more readable. The query only
+    recurses into a store path when it is first encountered; this
+    prevents a blowup of the tree representation of the graph.
+
+  - `--graphml`\
+    Prints the references graph of the store paths *paths* in the
+    [GraphML](http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/) file format. This can be
+    used to visualise dependency graphs. To obtain a build-time
+    dependency graph, apply this to a store derivation. To obtain a
+    runtime dependency graph, apply it to an output path.
+
+  - `--binding` *name*; `-b` *name*\
+    Prints the value of the attribute *name* (i.e., environment
+    variable) of the store derivations *paths*. It is an error for a
+    derivation to not have the specified attribute.
+
+  - `--hash`\
+    Prints the SHA-256 hash of the contents of the store paths *paths*
+    (that is, the hash of the output of `nix-store --dump` on the given
+    paths). Since the hash is stored in the Nix database, this is a fast
+    operation.
+
+  - `--size`\
+    Prints the size in bytes of the contents of the store paths *paths*
+    — to be precise, the size of the output of `nix-store --dump` on
+    the given paths. Note that the actual disk space required by the

+## Examples
+
+Print the closure (runtime dependencies) of the `svn` program in the
+current user environment:
+
+```console
+$ nix-store -qR $(which svn)
+/nix/store/5mbglq5ldqld8sj57273aljwkfvj22mc-subversion-1.1.4
+/nix/store/9lz9yc6zgmc0vlqmn2ipcpkjlmbi51vv-glibc-2.3.4
+...
+```
+
+Print the build-time dependencies of `svn`:
+
+```console
+$ nix-store -qR $(nix-store -qd $(which svn))
+/nix/store/02iizgn86m42q905rddvg4ja975bk2i4-grep-2.5.1.tar.bz2.drv

+/nix/store/0ma7c9wsbaxahwwl04gbw3fcd806ski4-glibc-2.3.4.drv
+... lots of other paths ...
+```
+
+The difference with the previous example is that we ask the closure of
+the derivation (`-qd`), not the closure of the output path that contains
+`svn`.
+
+Show the build-time dependencies as a tree:
+
+```console
+$ nix-store -q --tree $(nix-store -qd $(which svn))

+# Operation `--add`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-store` `--add` *paths…*
+
+## Description
+
+The operation `--add` adds the specified paths to the Nix store. It
+prints the resulting paths in the Nix store on standard output.
+
+## Example
+
+```console
+$ nix-store --add ./foo.c
+/nix/store/m7lrha58ph6rcnv109yzx1nk1cj7k7zf-foo.c
+```
+
+# Operation `--add-fixed`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-store` `--add-fixed` [`--recursive`] *algorithm* *paths…*
+
+## Description
+
+The operation `--add-fixed` adds the specified paths to the Nix store.
+Unlike `--add` paths are registered using the specified hashing
+algorithm, resulting in the same output path as a fixed-output
+derivation. This can be used for sources that are not available from a
+public url or broke since the download expression was written.
+
+This operation has the following options:
+
+  - `--recursive`\
+    Use recursive instead of flat hashing mode, used when adding
+    directories to the store.
+
+## Example
+
+```console
+$ nix-store --add-fixed sha256 ./hello-2.10.tar.gz
+/nix/store/3x7dwzq014bblazs7kq20p9hyzz0qh8g-hello-2.10.tar.gz
+```
+
+# Operation `--verify`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-store` `--verify` [`--check-contents`] [`--repair`]
+
+## Description
+
+The operation `--verify` verifies the internal consistency of the Nix
+database, and the consistency between the Nix database and the Nix
+store. Any inconsistencies encountered are automatically repaired.
+Inconsistencies are generally the result of the Nix store or database
+being modified by non-Nix tools, or of bugs in Nix itself.
+
+This operation has the following options:
+
+  - `--check-contents`\
+    Checks that the contents of every valid store path has not been
+    altered by computing a SHA-256 hash of the contents and comparing it
+    with the hash stored in the Nix database at build time. Paths that
+    have been modified are printed out. For large stores,
+    `--check-contents` is obviously quite slow.
+
+  - `--repair`\
+    If any valid path is missing from the store, or (if
+    `--check-contents` is given) the contents of a valid path has been
+    modified, then try to repair the path by redownloading it. See
+    `nix-store --repair-path` for details.
+
+# Operation `--verify-path`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-store` `--verify-path` *paths…*
+
+## Description
+
+The operation `--verify-path` compares the contents of the given store
+paths to their cryptographic hashes stored in Nix’s database. For every
+changed path, it prints a warning message. The exit status is 0 if no
+path has changed, and 1 otherwise.
+
+## Example
+
+To verify the integrity of the `svn` command and all its dependencies:
+
+```console
+$ nix-store --verify-path $(nix-store -qR $(which svn))
+```
+
+# Operation `--repair-path`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-store` `--repair-path` *paths…*
+
+## Description
+
+The operation `--repair-path` attempts to “repair” the specified paths
+by redownloading them using the available substituters. If no
+substitutes are available, then repair is not possible.
+
+> **Warning**
+>
+> During repair, there is a very small time window during which the old
+> path (if it exists) is moved out of the way and replaced with the new
+> path. If repair is interrupted in between, then the system may be left
+> in a broken state (e.g., if the path contains a critical system
+> component like the GNU C Library).
+
+## Example
+
+```console
+$ nix-store --verify-path /nix/store/dj7a81wsm1ijwwpkks3725661h3263p5-glibc-2.13

+
+# Operation `--dump`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-store` `--dump` *path*
+
+## Description
+
+The operation `--dump` produces a NAR (Nix ARchive) file containing the
+contents of the file system tree rooted at *path*. The archive is
+written to standard output.
+
+A NAR archive is like a TAR or Zip archive, but it contains only the
+information that Nix considers important. For instance, timestamps are
+elided because all files in the Nix store have their timestamp set to 0
+anyway. Likewise, all permissions are left out except for the execute
+bit, because all files in the Nix store have 444 or 555 permission.
+
+Also, a NAR archive is *canonical*, meaning that “equal” paths always
+produce the same NAR archive. For instance, directory entries are
+always sorted so that the actual on-disk order doesn’t influence the
+result.  This means that the cryptographic hash of a NAR dump of a
+path is usable as a fingerprint of the contents of the path. Indeed,
+the hashes of store paths stored in Nix’s database (see `nix-store -q
+--hash`) are SHA-256 hashes of the NAR dump of each store path.
+
+NAR archives support filenames of unlimited length and 64-bit file
+sizes. They can contain regular files, directories, and symbolic links,
+but not other types of files (such as device nodes).
+
+A Nix archive can be unpacked using `nix-store
+--restore`.
+
+# Operation `--restore`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-store` `--restore` *path*
+
+## Description
+
+The operation `--restore` unpacks a NAR archive to *path*, which must
+not already exist. The archive is read from standard input.
+
+# Operation `--export`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-store` `--export` *paths…*
+
+## Description
+
+The operation `--export` writes a serialisation of the specified store
+paths to standard output in a format that can be imported into another
+Nix store with `nix-store --import`. This is like `nix-store
+--dump`, except that the NAR archive produced by that command doesn’t
+contain the necessary meta-information to allow it to be imported into
+another Nix store (namely, the set of references of the path).
+
+This command does not produce a *closure* of the specified paths, so if
+a store path references other store paths that are missing in the target
+Nix store, the import will fail. To copy a whole closure, do something
+like:
+
+```console
+$ nix-store --export $(nix-store -qR paths) > out
+```
+
+To import the whole closure again, run:
+
+```console
+$ nix-store --import < out
+```
+
+# Operation `--import`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-store` `--import`
+
+## Description
+
+The operation `--import` reads a serialisation of a set of store paths
+produced by `nix-store --export` from standard input and adds those
+store paths to the Nix store. Paths that already exist in the Nix store
+are ignored. If a path refers to another path that doesn’t exist in the
+Nix store, the import fails.
+
+# Operation `--optimise`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-store` `--optimise`
+
+## Description
+
+The operation `--optimise` reduces Nix store disk space usage by finding
+identical files in the store and hard-linking them to each other. It
+typically reduces the size of the store by something like 25-35%. Only
+regular files and symlinks are hard-linked in this manner. Files are
+considered identical when they have the same NAR archive serialisation:
+that is, regular files must have the same contents and permission
+(executable or non-executable), and symlinks must have the same
+contents.
+
+After completion, or when the command is interrupted, a report on the
+achieved savings is printed on standard error.
+
+Use `-vv` or `-vvv` to get some progress indication.
+
+## Example
+
+```console
+$ nix-store --optimise
+hashing files in `/nix/store/qhqx7l2f1kmwihc9bnxs7rc159hsxnf3-gcc-4.1.1'
+...
+541838819 bytes (516.74 MiB) freed by hard-linking 54143 files;
+there are 114486 files with equal contents out of 215894 files in total
+```
+
+# Operation `--read-log`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-store` {`--read-log` | `-l`} *paths…*
+
+## Description
+
+The operation `--read-log` prints the build log of the specified store
+paths on standard output. The build log is whatever the builder of a
+derivation wrote to standard output and standard error. If a store path
+is not a derivation, the deriver of the store path is used.
+
+Build logs are kept in `/nix/var/log/nix/drvs`. However, there is no
+guarantee that a build log is available for any particular store path.
+For instance, if the path was downloaded as a pre-built binary through a
+substitute, then the log is unavailable.
+
+## Example
+
+```console
+$ nix-store -l $(which ktorrent)
+building /nix/store/dhc73pvzpnzxhdgpimsd9sw39di66ph1-ktorrent-2.2.1

+# Operation `--dump-db`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-store` `--dump-db` [*paths…*]
+
+## Description
+
+The operation `--dump-db` writes a dump of the Nix database to standard
+output. It can be loaded into an empty Nix store using `--load-db`. This
+is useful for making backups and when migrating to different database
+schemas.
+
+By default, `--dump-db` will dump the entire Nix database. When one or
+more store paths is passed, only the subset of the Nix database for
+those store paths is dumped. As with `--export`, the user is responsible
+for passing all the store paths for a closure. See `--export` for an
+example.
+
+# Operation `--load-db`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-store` `--load-db`
+
+## Description
+
+The operation `--load-db` reads a dump of the Nix database created by
+`--dump-db` from standard input and loads it into the Nix database.
+
+# Operation `--print-env`
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-store` `--print-env` *drvpath*
+
+## Description
+
+The operation `--print-env` prints out the environment of a derivation
+in a format that can be evaluated by a shell. The command line arguments
+of the builder are placed in the variable `_args`.
+
+## Example
+
+```console
+$ nix-store --print-env $(nix-instantiate '<nixpkgs>' -A firefox)
+…
+export src; src='/nix/store/plpj7qrwcz94z2psh6fchsi7s8yihc7k-firefox-12.0.source.tar.bz2'

+
+## Synopsis
+
+`nix-store` `--generate-binary-cache-key` *key-name* *secret-key-file* *public-key-file*
+
+## Description
+
+This command generates an [Ed25519 key pair](http://ed25519.cr.yp.to/)
+that can be used to create a signed binary cache. It takes three
+mandatory parameters:
+
+1.  A key name, such as `cache.example.org-1`, that is used to look up
+    keys on the client when it verifies signatures. It can be anything,
+    but it’s suggested to use the host name of your cache (e.g.
+    `cache.example.org`) with a suffix denoting the number of the key
+    (to be incremented every time you need to revoke a key).
+
+2.  The file name where the secret key is to be stored.
+
+3.  The file name where the public key is to be stored.

-`nix-store` `--gc` [`--print-roots` | `--print-live` | `--print-dead`] [`--max-freed` *bytes*]
-
-# Description
-
-Without additional flags, the operation `--gc` performs a garbage
-collection on the Nix store. That is, all paths in the Nix store not
-reachable via file system references from a set of “roots”, are deleted.
-
-The following suboperations may be specified:
-
-  - `--print-roots`\
-    This operation prints on standard output the set of roots used by
-    the garbage collector.
-
-  - `--print-live`\
-    This operation prints on standard output the set of “live” store
-    paths, which are all the store paths reachable from the roots. Live
-    paths should never be deleted, since that would break consistency —
-    it would become possible that applications are installed that
-    reference things that are no longer present in the store.
-
-  - `--print-dead`\
-    This operation prints out on standard output the set of “dead” store
-    paths, which is just the opposite of the set of live paths: any path
-    in the store that is not live (with respect to the roots) is dead.
-
-By default, all unreachable paths are deleted. The following options
-control what gets deleted and in what order:
-
-  - `--max-freed` *bytes*\
-    Keep deleting paths until at least *bytes* bytes have been deleted,
-    then stop. The argument *bytes* can be followed by the
-    multiplicative suffix `K`, `M`, `G` or `T`, denoting KiB, MiB, GiB
-    or TiB units.

-## Description
-
-This command generates an [Ed25519 key pair](http://ed25519.cr.yp.to/)
-that can be used to create a signed binary cache. It takes three
-mandatory parameters:
-
-1.  A key name, such as `cache.example.org-1`, that is used to look up
-    keys on the client when it verifies signatures. It can be anything,
-    but it’s suggested to use the host name of your cache (e.g.
-    `cache.example.org`) with a suffix denoting the number of the key
-    (to be incremented every time you need to revoke a key).
-
-2.  The file name where the secret key is to be stored.
-
-3.  The file name where the public key is to be stored.

-# Description
-
-The operation `--query` displays various bits of information about the
-store paths . The queries are described below. At most one query can be
-specified. The default query is `--outputs`.
-
-The paths *paths* may also be symlinks from outside of the Nix store, to
-the Nix store. In that case, the query is applied to the target of the
-symlink.
-
-# Common query options
-
-  - `--use-output`; `-u`\
-    For each argument to the query that is a [store derivation], apply the
-    query to the output path of the derivation instead.
-
-  - `--force-realise`; `-f`\
-    Realise each argument to the query first (see [`nix-store --realise`](./realise.md)).
-
-[store derivation]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-derivation
-
-# Queries
-
-  - `--outputs`\
-    Prints out the [output paths] of the store
-    derivations *paths*. These are the paths that will be produced when
-    the derivation is built.
-
-    [output paths]: ../../glossary.md#gloss-output-path
-
-  - `--requisites`; `-R`\
-    Prints out the [closure] of the store path *paths*.
-
-    [closure]: ../../glossary.md#gloss-closure
-
-    This query has one option:
-
-      - `--include-outputs`
-        Also include the existing output paths of [store derivation]s,
-        and their closures.
-
-    This query can be used to implement various kinds of deployment. A
-    *source deployment* is obtained by distributing the closure of a
-    store derivation. A *binary deployment* is obtained by distributing
-    the closure of an output path. A *cache deployment* (combined
-    source/binary deployment, including binaries of build-time-only
-    dependencies) is obtained by distributing the closure of a store
-    derivation and specifying the option `--include-outputs`.
-
-  - `--references`\
-    Prints the set of [references] of the store paths
-    *paths*, that is, their immediate dependencies. (For *all*
-    dependencies, use `--requisites`.)
-
-    [references]: ../../glossary.md#gloss-reference
-
-  - `--referrers`\
-    Prints the set of *referrers* of the store paths *paths*, that is,
-    the store paths currently existing in the Nix store that refer to
-    one of *paths*. Note that contrary to the references, the set of
-    referrers is not constant; it can change as store paths are added or
-    removed.
-
-  - `--referrers-closure`\
-    Prints the closure of the set of store paths *paths* under the
-    referrers relation; that is, all store paths that directly or
-    indirectly refer to one of *paths*. These are all the path currently
-    in the Nix store that are dependent on *paths*.
-
-  - `--deriver`; `-d`\
-    Prints the [deriver] that was used to build the store paths *paths*. If
-    the path has no deriver (e.g., if it is a source file), or if the
-    deriver is not known (e.g., in the case of a binary-only
-    deployment), the string `unknown-deriver` is printed.
-    The returned deriver is not guaranteed to exist in the local store, for
-    example when *paths* were substituted from a binary cache.
-    Use `--valid-derivers` instead to obtain valid paths only.
-
-    [deriver]: ../../glossary.md#gloss-deriver
-
-  - `--valid-derivers`\
-    Prints a set of derivation files (`.drv`) which are supposed produce
-    said paths when realized. Might print nothing, for example for source paths
-    or paths subsituted from a binary cache.
-
-  - `--graph`\
-    Prints the references graph of the store paths *paths* in the format
-    of the `dot` tool of AT\&T's [Graphviz
-    package](http://www.graphviz.org/). This can be used to visualise
-    dependency graphs. To obtain a build-time dependency graph, apply
-    this to a store derivation. To obtain a runtime dependency graph,
-    apply it to an output path.
-
-  - `--tree`\
-    Prints the references graph of the store paths *paths* as a nested
-    ASCII tree. References are ordered by descending closure size; this
-    tends to flatten the tree, making it more readable. The query only
-    recurses into a store path when it is first encountered; this
-    prevents a blowup of the tree representation of the graph.
-
-  - `--graphml`\
-    Prints the references graph of the store paths *paths* in the
-    [GraphML](http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/) file format. This can be
-    used to visualise dependency graphs. To obtain a build-time
-    dependency graph, apply this to a [store derivation]. To obtain a
-    runtime dependency graph, apply it to an output path.
-
-  - `--binding` *name*; `-b` *name*\
-    Prints the value of the attribute *name* (i.e., environment
-    variable) of the [store derivation]s *paths*. It is an error for a
-    derivation to not have the specified attribute.
-
-  - `--hash`\
-    Prints the SHA-256 hash of the contents of the store paths *paths*
-    (that is, the hash of the output of `nix-store --dump` on the given
-    paths). Since the hash is stored in the Nix database, this is a fast
-    operation.
-
-  - `--size`\
-    Prints the size in bytes of the contents of the store paths *paths*
-    — to be precise, the size of the output of `nix-store --dump` on
-    the given paths. Note that the actual disk space required by the
-    store paths may be higher, especially on filesystems with large
-    cluster sizes.
-
-  - `--roots`\
-    Prints the garbage collector roots that point, directly or
-    indirectly, at the store paths *paths*.
