+The `nix copy` command now has flags `--profile` and `--out-link`, similar to `nix build`. `--profile` makes a profile point to the
+top-level store path, while `--out-link` create symlinks to the top-level store paths.

+For example, when updating the local NixOS system profile from a NixOS system closure on a remote machine, instead of

+## Builder execution
+
+The [`builder`](#attr-builder) is executed as follows:
+
+- A temporary directory is created under the directory specified by
+  `TMPDIR` (default `/tmp`) where the build will take place. The
+  current directory is changed to this directory.
+
+- The environment is cleared and set to the derivation attributes, as
+  specified above.
+
+- In addition, the following variables are set:
+
+  - `NIX_BUILD_TOP` contains the path of the temporary directory for
+    this build.
+
+  - Also, `TMPDIR`, `TEMPDIR`, `TMP`, `TEMP` are set to point to the
+    temporary directory. This is to prevent the builder from
+    accidentally writing temporary files anywhere else. Doing so
+    might cause interference by other processes.
+
+  - `PATH` is set to `/path-not-set` to prevent shells from
+    initialising it to their built-in default value.
+
+  - `HOME` is set to `/homeless-shelter` to prevent programs from
+    using `/etc/passwd` or the like to find the user's home
+    directory, which could cause impurity. Usually, when `HOME` is
+    set, it is used as the location of the home directory, even if
+    it points to a non-existent path.
+
+  - `NIX_STORE` is set to the path of the top-level Nix store
+    directory (typically, `/nix/store`).
+
+  - `NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE` & `NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` if `__structuredAttrs`
+    is set to `true` for the derivation. A detailed explanation of this
+    behavior can be found in the
+    [section about structured attrs](./advanced-attributes.md#adv-attr-structuredAttrs).
+
+  - For each output declared in `outputs`, the corresponding
+    environment variable is set to point to the intended path in the
+    Nix store for that output. Each output path is a concatenation
+    of the cryptographic hash of all build inputs, the `name`
+    attribute and the output name. (The output name is omitted if
+    it’s `out`.)
+
+- If an output path already exists, it is removed. Also, locks are
+  acquired to prevent multiple Nix instances from performing the same
+  build at the same time.
+
+- A log of the combined standard output and error is written to
+  `/nix/var/log/nix`.
+
+- The builder is executed with the arguments specified by the
+  attribute `args`. If it exits with exit code 0, it is considered to
+  have succeeded.
+
+- The temporary directory is removed (unless the `-K` option was
+  specified).
+
+- If the build was successful, Nix scans each output path for
+  references to input paths by looking for the hash parts of the input
+  paths. Since these are potential runtime dependencies, Nix registers
+  them as dependencies of the output paths.
+
+- After the build, Nix sets the last-modified timestamp on all files
+  in the build result to 1 (00:00:01 1/1/1970 UTC), sets the group to
+  the default group, and sets the mode of the file to 0444 or 0555
+  (i.e., read-only, with execute permission enabled if the file was
+  originally executable). Note that possible `setuid` and `setgid`
+  bits are cleared. Setuid and setgid programs are not currently
+  supported by Nix. This is because the Nix archives used in
+  deployment have no concept of ownership information, and because it
+  makes the build result dependent on the user performing the build.

     It provides the following high-level (“porcelain”) subcommands:
-
+    
       - `nix build` is a replacement for `nix-build`.
-
+    
       - `nix run` executes a command in an environment in which the
         specified packages are available. It is (roughly) a replacement
         for `nix-shell
                                                                         -p`. Unlike that command, it does not execute the command in a
         shell, and has a flag (`-c`) that specifies the unquoted command
         line to be executed.
-
+        
         It is particularly useful in conjunction with chroot stores,
         allowing Linux users who do not have permission to install Nix
         in `/nix/store` to still use binary substitutes that assume
         `/nix/store`. For example,
-
+        
             nix run --store ~/my-nix nixpkgs.hello -c hello --greeting 'Hi everybody!'
-
+        
         downloads (or if not substitutes are available, builds) the GNU
         Hello package into `~/my-nix/nix/store`, then runs `hello` in a
         mount namespace where `~/my-nix/nix/store` is mounted onto
         `/nix/store`.
-
+    
       - `nix search` replaces `nix-env
                                                                         -qa`. It searches the available packages for occurrences of a
         search string in the attribute name, package name or
         description. Unlike `nix-env -qa`, it has a cache to speed up
         subsequent searches.
-
+    
       - `nix copy` copies paths between arbitrary Nix stores,
         generalising `nix-copy-closure` and `nix-push`.
-
+    
       - `nix repl` replaces the external program `nix-repl`. It provides
         an interactive environment for evaluating and building Nix
         expressions. Note that it uses `linenoise-ng` instead of GNU
         Readline.
-
+    
       - `nix upgrade-nix` upgrades Nix to the latest stable version.
         This requires that Nix is installed in a profile. (Thus it won’t
         work on NixOS, or if it’s installed outside of the Nix store.)
-
+    
       - `nix verify` checks whether store paths are unmodified and/or
         “trusted” (see below). It replaces `nix-store --verify` and
         `nix-store
                                                                         --verify-path`.
-
+    
       - `nix log` shows the build log of a package or path. If the
         build log is not available locally, it will try to obtain it
         from the configured substituters (such as
         [cache.nixos.org](https://cache.nixos.org/), which now
         provides build logs).
-

       - `nix edit` opens the source code of a package in your editor.
-
+    
       - `nix eval` replaces `nix-instantiate --eval`.

       - `nix

         closure. This is primarily useful to finding the causes of
         closure bloat. For example,
-
+        
             nix why-depends nixpkgs.vlc nixpkgs.libdrm.dev
-
+        
         shows a chain of files and fragments of file contents that cause
         the VLC package to have the “dev” output of `libdrm` in its
         closure — an undesirable situation.
-
+    
       - `nix path-info` shows information about store paths, replacing
         `nix-store -q`. A useful feature is the option `--closure-size`
         (`-S`). For example, the following command show the closure
         sizes of every path in the current NixOS system closure, sorted
         by size:
-
+        
             nix path-info -rS /run/current-system | sort -nk2
-
+    
       - `nix optimise-store` replaces `nix-store --optimise`. The main
         difference is that it has a progress indicator.

     A number of low-level (“plumbing”) commands are also available:

-
-- Support for relative path inputs [#10089](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10089)
-
-  Flakes can now refer to other flakes in the same repository using relative paths, e.g.
-  ```nix
-  inputs.foo.url = "path:./foo";
-  ```
-  uses the flake in the `foo` subdirectory of the referring flake. For more information, see the documentation on [the `path` flake input type](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake.md#path-fetcher).
-
-  This feature required a change to the lock file format. Previous Nix versions will not be able to use lock files that have locks for relative path inputs in them.
-
-- Flake lock file generation now ignores local registries [#12019](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/12019)
-
-  When resolving indirect flake references like `nixpkgs` in `flake.nix` files, Nix will no longer use the system and user flake registries. It will only use the global flake registry and overrides given on the command line via `--override-flake`.
-
-  This avoids accidents where users have local registry overrides that map `nixpkgs` to a `path:` flake in the local file system, which then end up in committed lock files pushed to other users.
-
-  In the future, we may remove the use of the registry during lock file generation altogether. It's better to explicitly specify the URL of a flake input. For example, instead of
-  ```nix
-  {
-    outputs = { self, nixpkgs }: { ... };
-  }
-  ```
-  write
-  ```nix
-  {
-    inputs.nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-24.11";
-    outputs = { self, nixpkgs }: { ... };
-  }

-
-- `nix copy` supports `--profile` and `--out-link` [#11657](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11657)
-
-  The `nix copy` command now has flags `--profile` and `--out-link`, similar to `nix build`. `--profile` makes a profile point to the
-  top-level store path, while `--out-link` create symlinks to the top-level store paths.
-
-  For example, when updating the local NixOS system profile from a NixOS system closure on a remote machine, instead of
-  ```
-  # nix copy --from ssh://server $path
-  # nix build --profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/system $path
-  ```
-  you can now do
-  ```
-  # nix copy --from ssh://server --profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/system $path
-  ```
-  The advantage is that this avoids a time window where *path* is not a garbage collector root, and so could be deleted by a concurrent `nix store gc` process.
-
-- `nix-instantiate --eval` now supports `--raw` [#12119](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/12119)
-
-  The `nix-instantiate --eval` command now supports a `--raw` flag, when used
-  the evaluation result must be a string, which is printed verbatim without
-  quotation marks or escaping.

-- Improved `NIX_SSHOPTS` parsing for better SSH option handling [#5181](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5181) [#12020](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/12020)
-
-  The parsing of the `NIX_SSHOPTS` environment variable has been improved to handle spaces and quotes correctly.
-  Previously, incorrectly split SSH options could cause failures in commands like `nix-copy-closure`,
-  especially when using complex SSH invocations such as `-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p ..."`.
-
-  This change introduces a `shellSplitString` function to ensure
-  that `NIX_SSHOPTS` is parsed in a manner consistent with shell
-  behavior, addressing common parsing errors.
-
-  For example, the following now works as expected:
-
-  ```bash
-  export NIX_SSHOPTS='-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p ..."'
-  ```
-
-  This update improves the reliability of SSH-related operations using `NIX_SSHOPTS` across Nix CLIs.

-# Building
-
-## Normalizing derivation inputs
-
-- Each input must be [realised] prior to building the derivation in question.
-
-[realised]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-realise
-
-- Once this is done, the derivation is *normalized*, replacing each input deriving path with its store path, which we now know from realising the input.
-
-## Builder Execution
-
-The [`builder`](./drv.md#builder) is executed as follows:
-
-- A temporary directory is created under the directory specified by
-  `TMPDIR` (default `/tmp`) where the build will take place. The
-  current directory is changed to this directory.
-
-- The environment is cleared and set to the derivation attributes, as
-  specified above.
-
-- In addition, the following variables are set:
-
-  - `NIX_BUILD_TOP` contains the path of the temporary directory for
-    this build.
-
-  - Also, `TMPDIR`, `TEMPDIR`, `TMP`, `TEMP` are set to point to the
-    temporary directory. This is to prevent the builder from
-    accidentally writing temporary files anywhere else. Doing so
-    might cause interference by other processes.
-
-  - `PATH` is set to `/path-not-set` to prevent shells from
-    initialising it to their built-in default value.
-
-  - `HOME` is set to `/homeless-shelter` to prevent programs from
-    using `/etc/passwd` or the like to find the user's home
-    directory, which could cause impurity. Usually, when `HOME` is
-    set, it is used as the location of the home directory, even if
-    it points to a non-existent path.
-
-  - `NIX_STORE` is set to the path of the top-level Nix store
-    directory (typically, `/nix/store`).
-
-  - `NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE` & `NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` if `__structuredAttrs`
-    is set to `true` for the derivation. A detailed explanation of this
-    behavior can be found in the
-    [section about structured attrs](@docroot@/language/advanced-attributes.md#adv-attr-structuredAttrs).
-
-  - For each output declared in `outputs`, the corresponding
-    environment variable is set to point to the intended path in the
-    Nix store for that output. Each output path is a concatenation
-    of the cryptographic hash of all build inputs, the `name`
-    attribute and the output name. (The output name is omitted if
-    it’s `out`.)
-
-- If an output path already exists, it is removed. Also, locks are
-  acquired to prevent multiple Nix instances from performing the same
-  build at the same time.
-
-- A log of the combined standard output and error is written to
-  `/nix/var/log/nix`.
-
-- The builder is executed with the arguments specified by the
-  attribute `args`. If it exits with exit code 0, it is considered to
-  have succeeded.
-
-- The temporary directory is removed (unless the `-K` option was
-  specified).
-
-## Processing outputs
-
-If the builder exited successfully, the following steps happen in order to turn the output directories left behind by the builder into proper store objects:
-
-- **Normalize the file permissions**
-
-  Nix sets the last-modified timestamp on all files
-  in the build result to 1 (00:00:01 1/1/1970 UTC), sets the group to
-  the default group, and sets the mode of the file to 0444 or 0555
-  (i.e., read-only, with execute permission enabled if the file was
-  originally executable). Any possible `setuid` and `setgid`
-  bits are cleared.
-
-  > **Note**
-  >
-  > Setuid and setgid programs are not currently supported by Nix.
-  > This is because the Nix archives used in deployment have no concept of ownership information,
-  > and because it makes the build result dependent on the user performing the build.
-
-- **Calculate the references**
-
-  Nix scans each output path for
-  references to input paths by looking for the hash parts of the input
-  paths. Since these are potential runtime dependencies, Nix registers
-  them as dependencies of the output paths.
-
-  Nix also scans for references to other outputs' paths in the same way, because outputs are allowed to refer to each other.
-  If the outputs' references to each other form a cycle, this is an error, because the references of store objects much be acyclic.

-# Store Derivation and Deriving Path
-
-Besides functioning as a [content addressed store] the Nix store layer works as a [build system].
-Other system (like Git or IPFS) also store and transfer immutable data, but they don't concern themselves with *how* that data was created.
-
-This is where Nix distinguishes itself.
-*Derivations* represent individual build steps, and *deriving paths* are needed to refer to the *outputs* of those build steps before they are built.
-<!-- The two concepts need to be introduced together because, as described below, each depends on the other. -->
-
-## Store Derivation {#store-derivation}
-
-A derivation is a specification for running an executable on precisely defined input files to repeatably produce output files at uniquely determined file system paths.
-
-A derivation consists of:
-
- - A name
-
- - A set of [*inputs*][inputs], a set of [deriving paths][deriving path]
-
- - A map of [*outputs*][outputs], from names to other data
-
- - The ["system" type][system] (e.g. `x86_64-linux`) where the executable is to run.
-
- - The [process creation fields]: to spawn the arbitrary process which will perform the build step.
-
-[store derivation]: #store-derivation
-[inputs]: #inputs
-[input]: #inputs
-[outputs]: #outputs
-[output]: #outputs
-[process creation fields]: #process-creation-fields
-[builder]: #builder
-[args]: #args
-[env]: #env
-[system]: #system
-
-### Referencing derivations {#derivation-path}
-
-Derivations are always referred to by the [store path] of the store object they are encoded to.
-See the [encoding section](#derivation-encoding) for more details on how this encoding works, and thus what exactly what store path we would end up with for a given derivation.
-
-The store path of the store object which encodes a derivation is often called a *derivation path* for brevity.
-
-## Deriving path {#deriving-path}
-
-Deriving paths are a way to refer to [store objects][store object] that may or may not yet be [realised][realise].
-There are two forms:
-
-- [*constant*]{#deriving-path-constant}: just a [store path].
-  It can be made [valid][validity] by copying it into the store: from the evaluator, command line interface or another store.
-
-- [*output*]{#deriving-path-output}: a pair of a [store path] to a [store derivation] and an [output] name.
-
-In pseudo code:
-
-```typescript
-type OutputName = String;
-
-type ConstantPath = {
-  path: StorePath;
-};
-
-type OutputPath = {
-  drvPath: StorePath;
-  output: OutputName;
-};
-
-type DerivingPath = ConstantPath | OutputPath;
-```
-
-Deriving paths are necessary because, in general and particularly for [content-addressing derivations][content-addressing derivation], the [store path] of an [output] is not known in advance.
-We can use an output deriving path to refer to such an out, instead of the store path which we do not yet know.
-
-[deriving path]: #deriving-path
-[validity]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-validity
-
-## Parts of a derivation
-
-A derivation is constructed from the parts documented in the following subsections.
-
-### Inputs {#inputs}
-
-The inputs are a set of [deriving paths][deriving path], refering to all store objects needed in order to perform this build step.
-
-The [process creation fields] will presumably include many [store paths][store path]:
-
- - The path to the executable normally starts with a store path
- - The arguments and environment variables likely contain many other store paths.
-
-But rather than somehow scanning all the other fields for inputs, Nix requires that all inputs be explicitly collected in the inputs field. It is instead the responsibility of the creator of a derivation (e.g. the evaluator) to  ensure that every store object referenced in another field (e.g. referenced by store path) is included in this inputs field.
-
-### Outputs {#outputs}
-
-The outputs are the derivations are the [store objects][store object] it is obligated to produce.
-
-Outputs are assigned names, and also consistent of other information based on the type of derivation.
-
-Output names can be any string which is also a valid [store path] name.
-The store path of the output store object (also called an [output path] for short), has a name based on the derivation name and the output name.
-In the general case, store paths have name `derivationName + "-" + outputName`.
-However, an output named "out" has a store path with name is just the derivation name.
-This is to allow derivations with a single output to avoid a superfluous `"-${outputName}"` in their single output's name when no disambiguation is needed.
-
-> **Example**
->
-> A derivation is named `hello`, and has two outputs, `out`, and `dev`
->
-> - The derivation's path will be: `/nix/store/<hash>-hello.drv`.
->
-> - The store path of `out` will be: `/nix/store/<hash>-hello`.
->
-> - The store path of `dev` will be: `/nix/store/<hash>-hello-dev`.
-
-### System {#system}
-
-The system type on which the [`builder`](#attr-builder) executable is meant to be run.
-
-A necessary condition for Nix to schedule a given derivation on some Nix instance is for the "system" of that derivation to match that instance's [`system` configuration option].
-
-By putting the `system` in each derivation, Nix allows *heterogenous* build plans, where not all steps can be run on the same machine or same sort of machine.
-Nix can schedule builds such that it automatically builds on other platforms by [forwarding build requests](@docroot@/advanced-topics/distributed-builds.md) to other Nix instances.
-
-[`system` configuration option]: @docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-system

-[content-addressing derivation]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-content-addressing-derivation
-[realise]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-realise
-[store object]: @docroot@/store/store-object.md
-[store path]: @docroot@/store/store-path.md
-
-### Process creation fields {#process-creation-fields}
-
-These are the three fields which describe how to spawn the process which (along with any of its own child processes) will perform the build.
-You may note that this has everything needed for an `execve` system call.
-
-#### Builder {#builder}
-
-This is the path to an executable that will perform the build and produce the [outputs].
-
-#### Arguments {#args}
-
-Command-line arguments to be passed to the [`builder`](#builder) executable.
-
-Note that these are the arguments after the first argument.
-The first argument passed to the `builder` will be the value of `builder`, as per the usual convention on Unix.
-See [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argv) for details.
-
-#### Environment Variables {#env}
-
-Environment variables which will be passed to the [builder](#builder) executable.
-
-### Placeholders
-
-Placeholders are opaque values used within the [process creation fields] to [store objects] for which we don't yet know [store path]s.
-They are strings in the form `/<hash>` that are embedded anywhere within the strings of those fields, and we are [considering](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/12361) to add store-path-like placeholders.
-
-> **Note**
->
-> Output Deriving Path exist to solve the same problem as placeholders --- that is, referring to store objects for which we don't yet know a store path.
-> They also have a string syntax with `^`, [described in the encoding section](#deriving-path-encoding).
-> We could use that syntax instead of `/<hash>` for placeholders, but its human-legibility would cause problems.
-
-There are two types of placeholder, corresponding to the two cases where this problem arises:
-
-- [Output placeholder]{#output-placeholder}:
-
-  This is a placeholder for a derivation's own output.
-
-- [Input placeholder]{#input-placeholder}:
-
-  This is a placeholder to a derivation's non-constant [input],
-  i.e. an input that is an [output derived path].
-
-> **Explanation**
->
-> In general, we need to realise [realise] a [store object] in order to be sure to have a store object for it.
-> But for these two cases this is either impossible or impractical:
->
-> - In the output case this is impossible:
->
->   We cannot build the output until we have a correct derivation, and we cannot have a correct derivation (without using placeholders) until we have the output path.
->
-> - In the input case this is impractical:
->
->   If we always build a dependency first, and then refer to its output by store path, we would lose the ability for a derivation graph to describe an entire build plan consisting of multiple build steps.
-
-## Encoding
-
-### Derivation {#derivation-encoding}
-
-There are two formats, documented separately:
-
-- The legacy ["ATerm" format](@docroot@/protocols/derivation-aterm.md)
-
-- The experimental, currently under development and changing [JSON format](@docroot@/protocols/json/derivation.md)
-
-Every derivation has a canonical choice of encoding used to serialize it to a store object.
-This ensures that there is a canonical [store path] used to refer to the derivation, as described in [Referencing derivations](#derivation-path).
-
-> **Note**
->
-> Currently, the canonical encoding for every derivation is the "ATerm" format,
-> but this is subject to change for types derivations which are not yet stable.
-
-Regardless of the format used, when serializing a derivation to a store object, that store object will be content-addressed.
-
-In the common case, the inputs to store objects are either:
-
- - [constant deriving paths](#deriving-path-constant) for content-addressed source objects, which are "initial inputs" rather than the outputs of some other derivation
-
- - the outputs of other derivations
-
-If those other derivations *also* abide by this common case (and likewise for transitive inputs), then the entire closure of the serialized derivation will be content-addressed.
-
-### Deriving Path {#deriving-path-encoding}
-
-- *constant*
-
-  Constant deriving paths are encoded simply as the underlying store path is.
-  Thus, we see that every encoded store path is also a valid encoded (constant) deriving path.
-
-- *output*
-
-  Output deriving paths are encoded by
-
-  - encoding of a store path referring to a derivation
-
-  - a `^` separator (or `!` in some legacy contexts)
-
-  - the name of an output of the previously referred derivation
-
-  > **Example**
-  >
-  > ```
-  > /nix/store/lxrn8v5aamkikg6agxwdqd1jz7746wz4-firefox-98.0.2.drv^out

-  >                                                           |--|
-  >                                                           note the ".drv"
-  > ```
-
-## Extending the model to be higher-order
-
-**Experimental feature**: [`dynamic-derivations`](@docroot@/development/experimental-features.md#xp-feature-dynamic-derivations)
-
-So far, we have used store paths to refer to derivations.
-That works because we've implicitly assumed that all derivations are created *statically* --- created by some mechanism out of band, and then manually inserted into the store.
-But what if derivations could also be created dynamically within Nix?
-In other words, what if derivations could be the outputs of other derivations?
-
-:::{.note}
-In the parlance of "Build Systems à la carte", we are generalizing the Nix store layer to be a "Monadic" instead of "Applicative" build system.
-:::
-
-How should we refer to such derivations?
-A deriving path works, the same as how we refer to other derivation outputs.
-But what about a dynamic derivations output?
-(i.e. how do we refer to the output of an output of a derivation?)
-For that we need to generalize the definition of deriving path, replacing the store path used to refer to the derivation with a nested deriving path:
-
-```diff
- type OutputPath = {
--  drvPath: StorePath;
-+  drvPath: DerivingPath;
-   output: OutputName;
- };
-```
-
-Now, the `drvPath` field of `OutputPath` is itself a `DerivingPath` instead of a `StorePath`.
-
-With that change, here is updated definition:
-
-```typescript
-type OutputName = String;
-
-type ConstantPath = {
-  path: StorePath;
-};
-
-type OutputPath = {
-  drvPath: DerivingPath;
-  output: OutputName;
-};
-
-type DerivingPath = ConstantPath | OutputPath;
-```
-
-Under this extended model, `DerivingPath`s are thus inductively built up from a root `ConstantPath`, wrapped with zero or more outer `OutputPath`s.
-
-### Encoding {#deriving-path-encoding}
-
-The encoding is adjusted in the natural way, encoding the `drv` field recursively using the same deriving path encoding.
-The result of this is that it is possible to have a chain of `^<output-name>` at the end of the final string, as opposed to just a single one.
-
-> **Example**
->
-> ```
-> /nix/store/lxrn8v5aamkikg6agxwdqd1jz7746wz4-firefox-98.0.2.drv^foo.drv^bar.drv^out
-> |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-|
-> inner deriving path (usual encoding)                                           output name

-> even more inner deriving path (usual encoding)                         output name
-> |------------------------------------------------------------| |-----|
