-   It could help to mention there that you will work on the issue.
-
-   We strongly recommend first-time contributors not to propose new features but rather fix tightly-scoped problems in order to build trust and a working relationship with maintainers.
-
-   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.

----
-
-JSON formats for store path info and derivations have been updated with new versions and structured fields.
-
-## Store Path Info JSON (Version 2)
-
-The store path info JSON format has been updated from version 1 to version 2:
-
-- **Added `version` field**:
-
-  All store path info JSON now includes `"version": 2`.
-
-- **Structured `ca` field**:
-
-  Content address is now a structured JSON object instead of a string:
-
-  - Old: `"ca": "fixed:r:sha256:1abc..."`
-  - New: `"ca": {"method": "nar", "hash": {"algorithm": "sha256", "format": "base64", "hash": "EMIJ+giQ..."}}`
-  - Still `null` values for input-addressed store objects
-
-Version 1 format is still accepted when reading for backward compatibility.
-
-**Affected command**: `nix path-info --json`
-
-## Derivation JSON (Version 4)
-
-The derivation JSON format has been updated from version 3 to version 4:
-
-- **Restructured inputs**:
-
-  Inputs are now nested under an `inputs` object:
-
-  - Old: `"inputSrcs": [...], "inputDrvs": {...}`
-  - New: `"inputs": {"srcs": [...], "drvs": {...}}`
-
-- **Consistent content addresses**:
-
-  Floating content-addressed outputs now use structured JSON format.
-  This is the same format as `ca` in in store path info (after the new version).
-
-Version 3 and earlier formats are *not* accepted when reading.
-
-**Affected command**: `nix derivation`, namely it's `show` and `add` sub-commands.

-issues: [13084, 12671, 11748, 12403]
----
-
-S3 binary cache operations now happen via HTTP, leveraging `libcurl`'s native
-AWS SigV4 authentication instead of the AWS C++ SDK, providing significant
-improvements:
-
-- **Reduced memory usage**: Eliminates memory buffering issues that caused
-  segfaults with large files
-- **Fixed upload reliability**: Resolves AWS SDK chunking errors
-  (`InvalidChunkSizeError`)
-- **Lighter dependencies**: Uses lightweight `aws-crt-cpp` instead of full
-  `aws-cpp-sdk`, reducing build complexity
-
-The new implementation requires curl >= 7.75.0 and `aws-crt-cpp` for credential
-management.
-
-All existing S3 URL formats and parameters remain supported, however the store
-settings for configuring multipart uploads have changed:
-
-- **`multipart-upload`** (default: `false`): Enable multipart uploads for large
-  files. When enabled, files exceeding the multipart threshold will be uploaded
-  in multiple parts.
-
-- **`multipart-threshold`** (default: `100 MiB`): Minimum file size for using
-  multipart uploads. Files smaller than this will use regular PUT requests.
-  Only takes effect when `multipart-upload` is enabled.
-
-- **`multipart-chunk-size`** (default: `5 MiB`): Size of each part in multipart
-  uploads. Must be at least 5 MiB (AWS S3 requirement). Larger chunk sizes
-  reduce the number of requests but use more memory.
-
-- **`buffer-size`**: Has been replaced by `multipart-chunk-size` and is now an alias to it.
-
-Note that this change also means Nix now supports S3 binary cache stores even
-if built without `aws-crt-cpp`, but only for public buckets which do not
-require authentication.

-# Remote Builds
-
-A local Nix installation can forward Nix builds to other machines,
-this allows multiple builds to be performed in parallel.
-
-Remote builds also allow Nix to perform multi-platform builds in a
-semi-transparent way. For example, if you perform a build for a
-`x86_64-darwin` on an `i686-linux` machine, Nix can automatically
-forward the build to a `x86_64-darwin` machine, if one is available.
-
-## Requirements
-
-For a local machine to forward a build to a remote machine, the remote machine must:
-
-- Have Nix installed
-- Be running an SSH server, e.g. `sshd`
-- Be accessible via SSH from the local machine over the network
-- Have the local machine's public SSH key in `/etc/ssh/authorized_keys.d/<username>`
-- Have the username of the SSH user in the `trusted-users` setting in `nix.conf`
-
-## Testing
-
-To test connecting to a remote [Nix instance] (in this case `mac`), run:
-
-```console
-nix store info --store ssh://username@mac
-```
-
-To specify an SSH identity file as part of the remote store URI add a
-query parameter, e.g.
-
-```console
-nix store info --store ssh://username@mac?ssh-key=/home/alice/my-key
-```
-
-Since builds should be non-interactive, the key should not have a
-passphrase. Alternatively, you can load identities ahead of time into
-`ssh-agent` or `gpg-agent`.
-
-In a multi-user installation (default), builds are executed by the Nix
-Daemon. The Nix Daemon cannot prompt for a passphrase via the terminal
-or `ssh-agent`, so the SSH key must not have a passphrase.
-
-In addition, the Nix Daemon's user (typically root) needs to have SSH
-access to the remote builder.
-
-Access can be verified by running `sudo su`, and then validating SSH
-access, e.g. by running `ssh mac`. SSH identity files for root users
-are usually stored in `/root/.ssh/` (Linux) or `/var/root/.ssh` (MacOS).
-
-If you get the error
-
-```console
-bash: nix: command not found
-error: cannot connect to 'mac'
-```
-
-then you need to ensure that the `PATH` of non-interactive login shells
-contains Nix.
-
-The [list of remote build machines](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-builders) can be specified on the command line or in the Nix configuration file.
-For example, the following command allows you to build a derivation for `x86_64-darwin` on a Linux machine:
-
-```console
-uname
-```
-
-```console
-Linux
-```
-
-```console
-nix build --impure \
- --expr '(with import <nixpkgs> { system = "x86_64-darwin"; }; runCommand "foo" {} "uname > $out")' \
- --builders 'ssh://mac x86_64-darwin'
-```
-
-```console
-[1/0/1 built, 0.0 MiB DL] building foo on ssh://mac
-```
-
-```console
-cat ./result
-```
-
-```console
-Darwin
-```
-
-It is possible to specify multiple build machines separated by a semicolon or a newline, e.g.
-
-```console
-  --builders 'ssh://mac x86_64-darwin ; ssh://beastie x86_64-freebsd'
-```
-
-Remote build machines can also be configured in [`nix.conf`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md), e.g.
-
-    builders = ssh://mac x86_64-darwin ; ssh://beastie x86_64-freebsd
-
-After making changes to `nix.conf`, restart the Nix daemon for changes to take effect.
-
-Finally, remote build machines can be configured in a separate configuration
-file included in `builders` via the syntax `@/path/to/file`. For example,
-
-    builders = @/etc/nix/machines
-
-causes the list of machines in `/etc/nix/machines` to be included.
-(This is the default.)

-# Common Environment Variables
-
-Most Nix commands interpret the following environment variables:
-
-- <span id="env-IN_NIX_SHELL">[`IN_NIX_SHELL`](#env-IN_NIX_SHELL)</span>
-
-  Indicator that tells if the current environment was set up by
-  `nix-shell`. It can have the values `pure` or `impure`.
-
-- <span id="env-NIX_PATH">[`NIX_PATH`](#env-NIX_PATH)</span>
-
-  A colon-separated list of search path entries used to resolve [lookup paths](@docroot@/language/constructs/lookup-path.md).
-
-  This environment variable overrides the value of the [`nix-path` configuration setting](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-nix-path).
-
-  It can be extended using the [`-I` option](@docroot@/command-ref/opt-common.md#opt-I).
-
-  > **Example**
-  >
-  > ```bash
-  > $ export NIX_PATH=`/home/eelco/Dev:nixos-config=/etc/nixos
-  > ```
-
-  If `NIX_PATH` is set to an empty string, resolving search paths will always fail.
-
-  > **Example**
-  >
-  > ```bash
-  > $ NIX_PATH= nix-instantiate --eval '<nixpkgs>'
-  > error: file 'nixpkgs' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I)

-
-- <span id="env-NIX_IGNORE_SYMLINK_STORE">[`NIX_IGNORE_SYMLINK_STORE`](#env-NIX_IGNORE_SYMLINK_STORE)</span>
-
-  Normally, the Nix store directory (typically `/nix/store`) is not
-  allowed to contain any symlink components. This is to prevent
-  “impure” builds. Builders sometimes “canonicalise” paths by
-  resolving all symlink components. Thus, builds on different machines
-  (with `/nix/store` resolving to different locations) could yield
-  different results. This is generally not a problem, except when
-  builds are deployed to machines where `/nix/store` resolves
-  differently. If you are sure that you’re not going to do that, you
-  can set `NIX_IGNORE_SYMLINK_STORE` to `1`.
-
-  Note that if you’re symlinking the Nix store so that you can put it
-  on another file system than the root file system, on Linux you’re
-  better off using `bind` mount points, e.g.,
-
-  ```console
-  $ mkdir /nix
-  $ mount -o bind /mnt/otherdisk/nix /nix
-  ```
-
-  Consult the mount 8 manual page for details.
-
-- <span id="env-NIX_STORE_DIR">[`NIX_STORE_DIR`](#env-NIX_STORE_DIR)</span>

-  Overrides the location of the Nix store (default `prefix/store`).
-
-- <span id="env-NIX_DATA_DIR">[`NIX_DATA_DIR`](#env-NIX_DATA_DIR)</span>

-
-  Overrides the location of the system Nix configuration directory
-  (default `sysconfdir/nix`, i.e. `/etc/nix` on most systems).
-
-- <span id="env-NIX_CONFIG">[`NIX_CONFIG`](#env-NIX_CONFIG)</span>
-
-  Applies settings from Nix configuration from the environment.

-  Settings are separated by the newline character.
-
-- <span id="env-NIX_USER_CONF_FILES">[`NIX_USER_CONF_FILES`](#env-NIX_USER_CONF_FILES)</span>
-
-  Overrides the location of the Nix user configuration files to load from.
-
-  The default are the locations according to the [XDG Base Directory Specification].
-  See the [XDG Base Directories](#xdg-base-directories) sub-section for details.
-
-  The variable is treated as a list separated by the `:` token.
-
-- <span id="env-TMPDIR">[`TMPDIR`](#env-TMPDIR)</span>
-
-  Use the specified directory to store temporary files. In particular,
-  this includes temporary build directories; these can take up
-  substantial amounts of disk space. The default is `/tmp`.
-
-- <span id="env-NIX_REMOTE">[`NIX_REMOTE`](#env-NIX_REMOTE)</span>

-  This variable should be set to `daemon` if you want to use the Nix
-  daemon to execute Nix operations. This is necessary in [multi-user
-  Nix installations](@docroot@/installation/multi-user.md). If the Nix

-## XDG Base Directories
-
-Nix follows the [XDG Base Directory Specification].
-
-For backwards compatibility, Nix commands will follow the standard only when [`use-xdg-base-directories`] is enabled.
-[New Nix commands](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix.md) (experimental) conform to the standard by default.
-
-The following environment variables are used to determine locations of various state and configuration files:
-
-- [`XDG_CONFIG_HOME`]{#env-XDG_CONFIG_HOME} (default `~/.config`)
-- [`XDG_STATE_HOME`]{#env-XDG_STATE_HOME} (default `~/.local/state`)
-- [`XDG_CACHE_HOME`]{#env-XDG_CACHE_HOME} (default `~/.cache`)
-
-[XDG Base Directory Specification]: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html
-[`use-xdg-base-directories`]: @docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-use-xdg-base-directories
-
-In addition, setting the following environment variables overrides the XDG base directories:
-
-- [`NIX_CONFIG_HOME`]{#env-NIX_CONFIG_HOME} (default `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nix`)
-- [`NIX_STATE_HOME`]{#env-NIX_STATE_HOME} (default `$XDG_STATE_HOME/nix`)
-- [`NIX_CACHE_HOME`]{#env-NIX_CACHE_HOME} (default `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/nix`)
-
-When [`use-xdg-base-directories`] is enabled, the configuration directory is:
-
-1. `$NIX_CONFIG_HOME`, if it is defined
-2. Otherwise, `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nix`, if `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is defined
-3. Otherwise, `~/.config/nix`.
-
-Likewise for the state and cache directories.

-## Default Nix expression
-
-The source for the [Nix expressions](@docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-nix-expression) used by [`nix-env`] by default:
-
-- `~/.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.
-
-> **Example**
->
-> If the default expression contains two files, `foo.nix` and `bar.nix`, then the default Nix expression will be equivalent to
->
-> ```nix
-> {
->   foo = import ~/.nix-defexpr/foo.nix;
->   bar = import ~/.nix-defexpr/bar.nix;
-> }
-> ```
-
-The file [`manifest.nix`](@docroot@/command-ref/files/manifest.nix.md) is always ignored.
-
-The command [`nix-channel`] places a symlink to the current user's [channels] in this directory, the [user channel link](#user-channel-link).
-This makes all subscribed channels available as attributes in the default expression.
-
-## User channel link

-A symlink that ensures that [`nix-env`] can find the current user's [channels]:
-
-- `~/.nix-defexpr/channels`
-- `$XDG_STATE_HOME/defexpr/channels` if [`use-xdg-base-directories`] is set to `true`.
-
-This symlink points to:
-
-- `$XDG_STATE_HOME/profiles/channels` for regular users
-- `$NIX_STATE_DIR/profiles/per-user/root/channels` for `root`

-
-# Description
-
-Channels are a mechanism for referencing remote Nix expressions and conveniently retrieving their latest version.
-
-The moving parts of channels are:
-- The official channels listed at <https://channels.nixos.org>
-- The user-specific list of [subscribed channels](#subscribed-channels)
-- The [downloaded channel contents](#channels)
-- The [Nix expression search path](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-nix-path), set with the [`-I` option](#opt-I) or the [`NIX_PATH` environment variable](#env-NIX_PATH)
-
-> **Note**
->
-> The state of a subscribed channel is external to the Nix expressions relying on it.
-> This may limit reproducibility.
->
-> Dependencies on other Nix expressions can be declared explicitly with:
-> - [`fetchurl`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-fetchurl), [`fetchTarball`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-fetchTarball), or [`fetchGit`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-fetchGit) in Nix expressions
-> - the [`-I` option](@docroot@/command-ref/opt-common.md#opt-I) in command line invocations
-
-This command has the following operations:
-
-- `--add` *url* \[*name*\]
-
-  Add a channel *name* located at *url* to the list of subscribed channels.
-  If *name* is omitted, default to the last component of *url*, with the suffixes `-stable` or `-unstable` removed.
-
-  > **Note**
-  >
-  > `--add` does not automatically perform an update.
-  > Use `--update` explicitly.
-
-  A channel URL must point to a directory containing a file `nixexprs.tar.gz`.
-  At the top level, that tarball must contain a single directory with a `default.nix` file that serves as the channel’s entry point.
-
-- `--remove` *name*
-
-  Remove the channel *name* from the list of subscribed channels.
-
-- `--list`
-
-  Print the names and URLs of all subscribed channels on standard output.
-
-- `--update` \[*names*…\]
-
-  Download the Nix expressions of subscribed channels and create a new generation.
-  Update all channels if none is specified, and only those included in *names* otherwise.
-
-  > **Note**
-  >
-  > Downloaded channel contents are cached.
-  > Use `--tarball-ttl` or the [`tarball-ttl` configuration option](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-tarball-ttl) to change the validity period of cached downloads.
-
-- `--list-generations`
-
-  Prints a list of all the current existing generations for the
-  channel profile.
-
-  Works the same way as
-  ```
-  nix-env --profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/channels --list-generations
-  ```
-
-- `--rollback` \[*generation*\]
-
-  Revert channels to the state before the last call to `nix-channel --update`.
-  Optionally, you can specify a specific channel *generation* number to restore.

-
-# Description
-
-Given _paths_ from one machine, `nix-copy-closure` computes the [closure](@docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-closure) of those paths (i.e. all their dependencies in the Nix store), and copies [store objects](@docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-object) in that closure to another machine via SSH.
-It doesn’t copy store objects that are already present on the other machine.
-
-> **Note**
->
-> While the Nix store to use on the local machine can be specified on the command line with the [`--store`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-store) option, the Nix store to be accessed on the remote machine can only be [configured statically](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#configuration-file) on that remote machine.
-
-Since `nix-copy-closure` calls `ssh`, you may need to authenticate with the remote machine.
-In fact, you may be asked for authentication _twice_ because `nix-copy-closure` currently connects twice to the remote machine: first to get the set of paths missing on the target machine, and second to send the dump of those paths.
-When using public key authentication, you can avoid typing the passphrase with `ssh-agent`.
-
-# Options
-
-- `--to`
-
-  Copy the closure of _paths_ from a Nix store accessible from the local machine to the Nix store on the remote _machine_.
-  This is the default behavior.
-
-- `--from`
-
-  Copy the closure of _paths_ from the Nix store on the remote _machine_ to the local machine's specified Nix store.
-
-- `--gzip`
-
-  Enable compression of the SSH connection.
-
-- `--include-outputs`
-
-  Also copy the outputs of [store derivation]s included in the closure.
-
-  [store derivation]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-derivation

-
-  Attempt to download missing store objects on the target from [substituters](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-substituters).
-  Any store objects that cannot be substituted on the target are still copied normally from the source.
-  This is useful, for instance, if the connection between the source and target machine is slow, but the connection between the target machine and `cache.nixos.org` (the default binary cache server) is fast.

-
-# Description
-
-The command `nix-env` is used to manipulate Nix user environments. User
-environments are sets of software packages available to a user at some
-point in time. In other words, they are a synthesised view of the
-programs available in the Nix store. There may be many user
-environments: different users can have different environments, and
-individual users can switch between different environments.
-
-`nix-env` takes exactly one *operation* flag which indicates the
-subcommand to be performed. The following operations are available:
-
-- [`--install`](./nix-env/install.md)
-- [`--upgrade`](./nix-env/upgrade.md)
-- [`--uninstall`](./nix-env/uninstall.md)
-- [`--set`](./nix-env/set.md)

-- [`--delete-generations`](./nix-env/delete-generations.md)
-- [`--switch-generation`](./nix-env/switch-generation.md)
-- [`--rollback`](./nix-env/rollback.md)

-- `man nix-env-<operation>`.
-
-  Example: `man nix-env-install`
-
-- `nix-env --help --<operation>`
-
-  Example: `nix-env --help --install`
-
-# Package sources
-
-`nix-env` can obtain packages from multiple sources:
-
-- An attribute set of derivations from:
-  - The [default Nix expression](@docroot@/command-ref/files/default-nix-expression.md) (by default)
-  - A Nix file, specified via `--file`
-  - A [profile](@docroot@/command-ref/files/profiles.md), specified via `--from-profile`
-  - A Nix expression that is a function which takes default expression as argument, specified via `--from-expression`
-- A [store path](@docroot@/store/store-path.md)
-
-# Selectors
-
-Several operations, such as [`nix-env --query`](./nix-env/query.md) and [`nix-env --install`](./nix-env/install.md), take a list of *arguments* that specify the packages on which to operate.
-
-Packages are identified based on a `name` part and a `version` part of a [symbolic derivation name](@docroot@/language/derivations.md#attr-name):
-
-- `name`: Everything up to but not including the first dash (`-`) that is *not* followed by a letter.
-- `version`: The rest, excluding the separating dash.
-
-> **Example**
->
-> `nix-env` parses the symbolic derivation name `apache-httpd-2.0.48` as:
->
-> ```json
-> {
->   "name": "apache-httpd",
->   "version": "2.0.48"
-> }
-> ```
-
-> **Example**
->
-> `nix-env` parses the symbolic derivation name `firefox.*` as:
->
-> ```json
-> {
->   "name": "firefox.*",
->   "version": ""
-> }
-> ```
-
-The `name` parts of the *arguments* to `nix-env` are treated as extended regular expressions and matched against the `name` parts of derivation names in the package source.
-The match is case-sensitive.
-The regular expression can optionally be followed by a dash (`-`) and a version number; if omitted, any version of the package will match.
-For details on regular expressions, see [**regex**(7)](https://linux.die.net/man/7/regex).
-
-> **Example**
->
-> Common patterns for finding package names with `nix-env`:
->
-> - `firefox`
->
->   Matches the package name `firefox` and any version.
->
-> - `firefox-32.0`
->
->   Matches the package name `firefox` and version `32.0`.
->
-> - `gtk\\+`
->
->   Matches the package name `gtk+`.
->   The `+` character must be escaped using a backslash (`\`) to prevent it from being interpreted as a quantifier, and the backslash must be escaped in turn with another backslash to ensure that the shell passes it on.
->
-> - `.\*`
->
->   Matches any package name.
->   This is the default for most commands.
->
-> - `'.*zip.*'`
->
->   Matches any package name containing the string `zip`.
->   Note the dots: `'*zip*'` does not work, because in a regular expression, the character `*` is interpreted as a quantifier.
->
-> - `'.*(firefox|chromium).*'`
->
->   Matches any package name containing the strings `firefox` or `chromium`.

-  [`--remove-all` | `-r`]
-  [`--priority` *priority*]
-
-# 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@/store/store-path.md
-
-The arguments *args* map to store paths in a number of possible ways:
-
-- By default, *args* is a set of 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 expression]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-derivation-expression
-  [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/syntax.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 `--priority` *priority* is given, the priority of the derivations being installed is set to *priority*.
-  This can be used to override the priority of the derivations being installed.
-  This is useful if *args* are [store paths], which don't have any priority information.
-
-- If *args* are [store paths] that point to [store derivations][store derivation], then those store derivations are [realised], and the resulting output paths are installed.
-
-- If *args* are [store paths] that do not point to store derivations, then these are [realised] and installed.
-
-- By default all [outputs](@docroot@/language/derivations.md#attr-outputs) are installed for each [store 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.

-# 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.

-$ 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

-
-```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’

-# Options
-
-The following options are allowed for all `nix-env` operations, but may not always 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
-  interpreted as the URL of a tarball that will be downloaded and
-  unpacked to a temporary location. The tarball must include a single
-  top-level directory containing at least a file named `default.nix`.
-
-- `--profile` / `-p` *path*
-
-  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
-  the *current generation*.
-
-- `--dry-run`
-
-  For the `--install`, `--upgrade`, `--uninstall`,
-  `--switch-generation`, `--delete-generations` and `--rollback`
-  operations, this flag will cause `nix-env` to print what *would* be
-  done if this flag had not been specified, without actually doing it.
-
-  `--dry-run` also prints out which paths will be
-  [substituted](@docroot@/glossary.md) (i.e., downloaded) and which paths
-  will be built from source (because no substitute is available).
-
-- `--system-filter` *system*
-
-  By default, operations such as `--query --available` show derivations matching any platform. This option
-  allows you to use derivations for the specified platform *system*.

-
-# 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 [store path] to the [store derivation].

-
-    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.

-
-# 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.

-# 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`](./install.md). 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

-```
-
-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

-
-# Description
-
-The command `nix-hash` computes the cryptographic hash of the contents
-of each *path* and prints it on standard output. By default, it computes
-an MD5 hash, but other hash algorithms are available as well. The hash
-is printed in hexadecimal. To generate the same hash as
-`nix-prefetch-url` you have to specify multiple arguments, see below for
-an example.
-
-The hash is computed over a *serialisation* of each path: a dump of
-the file system tree rooted at the path. This allows directories and
-symlinks to be hashed as well as regular files. The dump is in the
-*[Nix Archive (NAR)][Nix Archive] format* produced by [`nix-store
---dump`](@docroot@/command-ref/nix-store/dump.md).  Thus, `nix-hash path`
-yields the same cryptographic hash as `nix-store --dump path |
-md5sum`.
-
-[Nix Archive]: @docroot@/store/file-system-object/content-address.md#serial-nix-archive
-
-# Options
-
-- `--flat`
-
-  Print the cryptographic hash of the contents of each regular file *path*.
-  That is, instead of computing
-  the hash of the [Nix Archive (NAR)](@docroot@/store/file-system-object/content-address.md#serial-nix-archive) of *path*,
-  just [directly hash]((@docroot@/store/file-system-object/content-address.md#serial-flat) *path* as is.
-  This requires *path* to resolve to a regular file rather than directory.
-  The result is identical to that produced by the GNU commands
-  `md5sum` and `sha1sum`.
-
-- `--base16`
-
-  Print the hash in a hexadecimal representation (default).
-
-- `--base32`
-
-  Print the hash in a base-32 representation rather than hexadecimal.
-  This base-32 representation is more compact and can be used in Nix
-  expressions (such as in calls to `fetchurl`).
-
-- `--base64`
-
-  Similar to --base32, but print the hash in a base-64 representation,
-  which is more compact than the base-32 one.
-
-- `--sri`
-
-  Print the hash in SRI format with base-64 encoding.
-  The type of hash algorithm will be prepended to the hash string,
-  followed by a hyphen (-) and the base-64 hash body.
-
-- `--truncate`
-
-  Truncate hashes longer than 160 bits (such as SHA-256) to 160 bits.
-
-- `--type` *hashAlgo*
-
-  Use the specified cryptographic hash algorithm, which can be one of
-  `blake3`, `md5`, `sha1`, `sha256`, and `sha512`.
-
-- `--to-base16`
-
-  Don’t hash anything, but convert the base-32 hash representation
-  *hash* to hexadecimal.
-
-- `--to-base32`
-
-  Don’t hash anything, but convert the hexadecimal hash representation
-  *hash* to base-32.
-
-- `--to-base64`
-
-  Don’t hash anything, but convert the hexadecimal hash representation
-  *hash* to base-64.
-
-- `--to-sri`
-
-  Don’t hash anything, but convert the hexadecimal hash representation
-  *hash* to SRI.

-# Name
-
-`nix-instantiate` - instantiate store derivations from Nix expressions
-
-# Synopsis
-
-`nix-instantiate`
-  [`--parse` | `--eval` [`--strict`] [`--raw` | `--json` | `--xml`] ]
-  [`--read-write-mode`]
-  [`--arg` *name* *value*]
-  [{`--attr`| `-A`} *attrPath*]
-  [`--add-root` *path*]
-  [`--expr` | `-E`]
-  *files…*
-
-`nix-instantiate` `--find-file` *files…*
-
-# Description
-
-The command `nix-instantiate` produces [store derivation]s from (high-level) Nix expressions.
-It evaluates the Nix expressions in each of *files* (which defaults to
-*./default.nix*). Each top-level expression should evaluate to a
-derivation, a list of derivations, or a set of derivations. The paths
-of the resulting store derivations are printed on standard output.
-
-[store derivation]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-derivation
-
-If *files* is the character `-`, then a Nix expression will be read from
-standard input.
-
-# Options
-
-- `--add-root` *path*
-
-  See the [corresponding option](nix-store.md) in `nix-store`.
-
-- `--parse`
-
-  Just parse the input files, and print their abstract syntax trees on
-  standard output as a Nix expression.
-
-- `--eval`
-
-  Just parse and evaluate the input files, and print the resulting
-  values on standard output.
-  Store derivations are not serialized and written to the store, but instead just hashed and discarded.
-
-  > **Warning**
-  >
-  > This option produces output which can be parsed as a Nix expression which
-  > will produce a different result than the input expression when evaluated.
-  > For example, these two Nix expressions print the same result despite
-  > having different meaning:
-  >
-  > ```console
-  > $ nix-instantiate --eval --expr '{ a = {}; }'
-  > { a = <CODE>; }
-  > $ nix-instantiate --eval --expr '{ a = <CODE>; }'
-  > { a = <CODE>; }
-  > ```
-  >
-  > For human-readable output, `nix eval` (experimental) is more informative:
-  >
-  > ```console
-  > $ nix-instantiate --eval --expr 'a: a'
-  > <LAMBDA>
-  > $ nix eval --expr 'a: a'
-  > «lambda @ «string»:1:1»
-  > ```
-  >
-  > For machine-readable output, the `--xml` option produces unambiguous
-  > output:
-  >
-  > ```console
-  > $ nix-instantiate --eval --xml --expr '{ foo = <CODE>; }'
-  > <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
-  > <expr>
-  >   <attrs>
-  >     <attr column="3" line="1" name="foo">
-  >       <unevaluated />
-  >     </attr>
-  >   </attrs>
-  > </expr>
-  > ```
-
-- `--find-file`
-
-  Look up the given files in Nix’s search path (as specified by the
-  `NIX_PATH` environment variable). If found, print the corresponding
-  absolute paths on standard output. For instance, if `NIX_PATH` is
-  `nixpkgs=/home/alice/nixpkgs`, then `nix-instantiate --find-file
-  nixpkgs/default.nix` will print `/home/alice/nixpkgs/default.nix`.
-
-- `--strict`
-
-  When used with `--eval`, recursively evaluate list elements and
-  attributes. Normally, such sub-expressions are left unevaluated
-  (since the Nix language is lazy).
-
-  > **Warning**
-  >
-  > This option can cause non-termination, because lazy data
-  > structures can be infinitely large.
-
-- `--raw`
-
-  When used with `--eval`, the evaluation result must be a string,
-  which is printed verbatim, without quoting, escaping or trailing newline.
-
-- `--json`
-
-  When used with `--eval`, print the resulting value as an JSON
-  representation of the abstract syntax tree rather than as a Nix expression.
-
-- `--xml`
-
-  When used with `--eval`, print the resulting value as an XML
-  representation of the abstract syntax tree rather than as a Nix expression.
-  The schema is the same as that used by the [`toXML`
-  built-in](../language/builtins.md).
-
-- `--read-write-mode`
-
-  When used with `--eval`, perform evaluation in read/write mode so
-  nix language features that require it will still work (at the cost
-  of needing to do instantiation of every evaluated derivation). If
-  this option is not enabled, there may be uninstantiated store paths
-  in the final output.
-
-{{#include ./opt-common.md}}
-
-{{#include ./env-common.md}}
-
-# Examples
-
-Instantiate [store derivation]s from a Nix expression, and build them using `nix-store`:
-
-```console
-$ nix-instantiate test.nix (instantiate)
-/nix/store/cigxbmvy6dzix98dxxh9b6shg7ar5bvs-perl-BerkeleyDB-0.26.drv
-
-$ nix-store --realise $(nix-instantiate test.nix) (build)
-...
-/nix/store/qhqk4n8ci095g3sdp93x7rgwyh9rdvgk-perl-BerkeleyDB-0.26 (output path)

-dr-xr-xr-x    2 eelco    users        4096 1970-01-01 01:00 lib
-...
-```
-
-You can also give a Nix expression on the command line:
-
-```console
-$ nix-instantiate --expr 'with import <nixpkgs> { }; hello'
-/nix/store/j8s4zyv75a724q38cb0r87rlczaiag4y-hello-2.8.drv
-```
-
-This is equivalent to:
-
-```console
-$ nix-instantiate '<nixpkgs>' --attr hello
-```
-
-Parsing and evaluating Nix expressions:
-
-```console
-$ nix-instantiate --parse --expr '1 + 2'
-1 + 2
-```
-
-```console
-$ nix-instantiate --eval --expr '1 + 2'
-3
-```
-
-```console
-$ nix-instantiate --eval --xml --expr '1 + 2'
-<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
-<expr>
-  <int value="3" />
-</expr>
-```
-
-The difference between non-strict and strict evaluation:
-
-```console
-$ nix-instantiate --eval --xml --expr '{ x = {}; }'
-<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
-<expr>
-  <attrs>
-    <attr column="3" line="1" name="x">
-      <unevaluated />
-    </attr>
-  </attrs>
-</expr>
-
-$ nix-instantiate --eval --xml --strict --expr '{ x = {}; }'

-# Name
-
-`nix-prefetch-url` - copy a file from a URL into the store and print its hash
-
-# Synopsis
-
-`nix-prefetch-url` *url* [*hash*]
-  [`--type` *hashAlgo*]
-  [`--print-path`]
-  [`--unpack`]
-  [`--name` *name*]
-
-# Description
-
-The command `nix-prefetch-url` downloads the file referenced by the URL
-*url*, prints its cryptographic hash, and copies it into the Nix store.
-The file name in the store is `hash-baseName`, where *baseName* is
-everything following the final slash in *url*.
-
-This command is just a convenience for Nix expression writers. Often a
-Nix expression fetches some source distribution from the network using
-the `fetchurl` expression contained in Nixpkgs. However, `fetchurl`
-requires a cryptographic hash. If you don't know the hash, you would
-have to download the file first, and then `fetchurl` would download it
-again when you build your Nix expression. Since `fetchurl` uses the same
-name for the downloaded file as `nix-prefetch-url`, the redundant
-download can be avoided.
-
-If *hash* is specified, then a download is not performed if the Nix
-store already contains a file with the same hash and base name.
-Otherwise, the file is downloaded, and an error is signaled if the
-actual hash of the file does not match the specified hash.
-
-This command prints the hash on standard output.
-The hash is printed using base-32 unless `--type md5` is specified,
-in which case it's printed using base-16.
-Additionally, if the option `--print-path` is used,
-the path of the downloaded file in the Nix store is also printed.
-
-# Options
-
-- `--type` *hashAlgo*
-
-  Use the specified cryptographic hash algorithm,
-  which can be one of `blake3`, `md5`, `sha1`, `sha256`, and `sha512`.
-  The default is `sha256`.
-
-- `--print-path`
-
-  Print the store path of the downloaded file on standard output.
-
-- `--unpack`
-
-  Unpack the archive (which must be a tarball or zip file) and add the
-  result to the Nix store. The resulting hash can be used with
-  functions such as Nixpkgs’s `fetchzip` or `fetchFromGitHub`.
-
-- `--executable`
-
-  Set the executable bit on the downloaded file.
-
-- `--name` *name*
-
-  Override the name of the file in the Nix store. By default, this is
-  `hash-basename`, where *basename* is the last component of *url*.
-  Overriding the name is necessary when *basename* contains characters
-  that are not allowed in Nix store paths.
-
-# Examples
-
-```console
-$ nix-prefetch-url ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/hello/hello-2.10.tar.gz

-# Disambiguation
-
-This man page describes the command `nix-shell`, which is distinct from `nix
-shell`. For documentation on the latter, run `nix shell --help` or see `man
-nix3-env-shell`.
-
-# Description
-
-The command `nix-shell` will build the dependencies of the specified
-derivation, but not the derivation itself. It will then start an
-interactive shell in which all environment variables defined by the
-derivation *path* have been set to their corresponding values, and the
-script `$stdenv/setup` has been sourced. This is useful for reproducing
-the environment of a derivation for development.
-
-If *path* is not given, `nix-shell` defaults to `shell.nix` if it
-exists, and `default.nix` otherwise.
-
-If *path* starts with `http://` or `https://`, it is interpreted as the
-URL of a tarball that will be downloaded and unpacked to a temporary
-location. The tarball must include a single top-level directory
-containing at least a file named `default.nix`.
-
-If the derivation defines the variable `shellHook`, it will be run
-after `$stdenv/setup` has been sourced. Since this hook is not executed
-by regular Nix builds, it allows you to perform initialisation specific
-to `nix-shell`. For example, the derivation attribute
-
-```nix
-shellHook =
-  ''
-    echo "Hello shell"
-    export SOME_API_TOKEN="$(cat ~/.config/some-app/api-token)"
-  '';
-```
-
-will cause `nix-shell` to print `Hello shell` and set the `SOME_API_TOKEN`
-environment variable to a user-configured value.
-
-# Options
-
-All options not listed here are passed to `nix-store
---realise`, except for `--arg` and `--attr` / `-A` which are passed to
-`nix-instantiate`.
-
-- `--command` *cmd*
-
-  In the environment of the derivation, run the shell command *cmd*.
-  This command is executed in an interactive shell. (Use `--run` to
-  use a non-interactive shell instead.) However, a call to `exit` is
-  implicitly added to the command, so the shell will exit after
-  running the command. To prevent this, add `return` at the end;
-  e.g.  `--command "echo Hello; return"` will print `Hello` and then
-  drop you into the interactive shell. This can be useful for doing
-  any additional initialisation.
-
-- `--run` *cmd*
-
-  Like `--command`, but executes the command in a non-interactive
-  shell. This means (among other things) that if you hit Ctrl-C while
-  the command is running, the shell exits.
-
-- `--exclude` *regexp*
-
-  Do not build any dependencies whose store path matches the regular
-  expression *regexp*. This option may be specified multiple times.
-
-- `--pure`
-
-  If this flag is specified, the environment is almost entirely
-  cleared before the interactive shell is started, so you get an
-  environment that more closely corresponds to the “real” Nix build. A
-  few variables, in particular `HOME`, `USER` and `DISPLAY`, are
-  retained.  Note that the shell used to run commands is obtained from
-  [`NIX_BUILD_SHELL`](#env-NIX_BUILD_SHELL) / `<nixpkgs>` from
-  `NIX_PATH`, and therefore not affected by `--pure`.
-
-- `--packages` / `-p` *packages*…
-
-  Set up an environment in which the specified packages are present.
-  The command line arguments are interpreted as attribute names inside
-  the Nix Packages collection. Thus, `nix-shell --packages libjpeg openjdk`
-  will start a shell in which the packages denoted by the attribute
-  names `libjpeg` and `openjdk` are present.
-
-- `-i` *interpreter*
-
-  The chained script interpreter to be invoked by `nix-shell`. Only
-  applicable in `#!`-scripts (described below).
-
-- `--keep` *name*
-
-  When a `--pure` shell is started, keep the listed environment
-  variables.
-
-{{#include ./opt-common.md}}
-
-# Environment variables
-
-- <span id="env-NIX_BUILD_SHELL">[`NIX_BUILD_SHELL`](#env-NIX_BUILD_SHELL)</span>
-
-  Shell used to start the interactive environment.
-  Defaults to the `bash` from `bashInteractive` found in `<nixpkgs>`, falling back to the `bash` found in `PATH` if not found.
-
-  > **Note**
-  >
-  > The shell obtained using this method may not necessarily be the same as any shells requested in *path*.
-
-  <!-- -->
-
-  > **Example
-  >
-  >  Despite `--pure`, this invocation will not result in a fully reproducible shell environment:

-  >   buildInputs = pkgs.bashInteractive;
-  > }
-  > ```
-
-{{#include ./env-common.md}}
-
-# Examples
-
-To build the dependencies of the package Pan, and start an interactive
-shell in which to build it:
-
-```console
-$ nix-shell '<nixpkgs>' --attr pan
-[nix-shell]$ eval ${unpackPhase:-unpackPhase}
-[nix-shell]$ cd $sourceRoot
-[nix-shell]$ eval ${patchPhase:-patchPhase}
-[nix-shell]$ eval ${configurePhase:-configurePhase}
-[nix-shell]$ eval ${buildPhase:-buildPhase}
-[nix-shell]$ ./pan/gui/pan
-```
-
-The reason we use form `eval ${configurePhase:-configurePhase}` here is because
-those packages that override these phases do so by exporting the overridden
-values in the environment variable of the same name.
-Here bash is being told to either evaluate the contents of 'configurePhase',
-if it exists as a variable, otherwise evaluate the configurePhase function.
-
-To clear the environment first, and do some additional automatic
-initialisation of the interactive shell:
-
-```console
-$ nix-shell '<nixpkgs>' --attr pan --pure \
-    --command 'export NIX_DEBUG=1; export NIX_CORES=8; return'
-```
-
-Nix expressions can also be given on the command line using the `-E` and
-`-p` flags. For instance, the following starts a shell containing the
-packages `sqlite` and `libX11`:
-
-```console
-$ nix-shell --expr 'with import <nixpkgs> { }; runCommand "dummy" { buildInputs = [ sqlite xorg.libX11 ]; } ""'
-```
-
-A shorter way to do the same is:
-
-```console
-$ nix-shell --packages sqlite xorg.libX11
-[nix-shell]$ echo $NIX_LDFLAGS
-… -L/nix/store/j1zg5v…-sqlite-3.8.0.2/lib -L/nix/store/0gmcz9…-libX11-1.6.1/lib …
-```
-
-Note that `-p` accepts multiple full nix expressions that are valid in
-the `buildInputs = [ ... ]` shown above, not only package names. So the
-following is also legal:
-
-```console
-$ nix-shell --packages sqlite 'git.override { withManual = false; }'
-```
-
-The `-p` flag looks up Nixpkgs in the Nix search path. You can override
-it by passing `-I` or setting `NIX_PATH`. For example, the following
-gives you a shell containing the Pan package from a specific revision of
-Nixpkgs:
-
-```console
-$ nix-shell --packages pan -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/8a3eea054838b55aca962c3fbde9c83c102b8bf2.tar.gz
-
-[nix-shell:~]$ pan --version
-Pan 0.139
-```
-
-# Use as a `#!`-interpreter
-
-You can use `nix-shell` as a script interpreter to allow scripts written
-in arbitrary languages to obtain their own dependencies via Nix. This is
-done by starting the script with the following lines:
-
-```bash
-#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
-#! nix-shell -i real-interpreter --packages packages
-```
-
-where *real-interpreter* is the “real” script interpreter that will be
-invoked by `nix-shell` after it has obtained the dependencies and
-initialised the environment, and *packages* are the attribute names of
-the dependencies in Nixpkgs.
-
-The lines starting with `#! nix-shell` specify `nix-shell` options (see
-above). Note that you cannot write `#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell -i ...`
-because many operating systems only allow one argument in `#!` lines.
-
-For example, here is a Python script that depends on Python and the
-`prettytable` package:
-
-```python
-#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
-#! nix-shell -i python3 --packages python3 python3Packages.prettytable
-
-import prettytable
-
-# Print a simple table.
-t = prettytable.PrettyTable(["N", "N^2"])
-for n in range(1, 10): t.add_row([n, n * n])
-print(t)
-```
-
-Similarly, the following is a Perl script that specifies that it
-requires Perl and the `HTML::TokeParser::Simple`, `LWP` and
-`LWP::Protocol::Https` packages:
-
-```perl
-#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
-#! nix-shell -i perl 
-#! nix-shell --packages perl 
-#! nix-shell --packages perlPackages.HTMLTokeParserSimple 
-#! nix-shell --packages perlPackages.LWP
-#! nix-shell --packages perlPackages.LWPProtocolHttps
-
-use HTML::TokeParser::Simple;
-
-# Fetch nixos.org and print all hrefs.
-my $p = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new(url => 'https://nixos.org/');
-
-while (my $token = $p->get_tag("a")) {
-    my $href = $token->get_attr("href");
-    print "$href\n" if $href;
-}
-```
-
-Sometimes you need to pass a simple Nix expression to customize a
-package like Terraform:
-
-```bash
-#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
-#! nix-shell -i bash --packages 'terraform.withPlugins (plugins: [ plugins.openstack ])'
-
-terraform apply
-```
-

-> You must use single or double quotes (`'`, `"`) when passing a simple Nix expression

-
-Finally, using the merging of multiple nix-shell shebangs the following
-Haskell script uses a specific branch of Nixpkgs/NixOS (the 20.03 stable
-branch):
-
-```haskell
-#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
-#! nix-shell -i runghc --packages 'haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (ps: [ps.download-curl ps.tagsoup])'
-#! nix-shell -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/nixos-20.03.tar.gz

-import Network.Curl.Download
-import Text.HTML.TagSoup
-import Data.Either
-import Data.ByteString.Char8 (unpack)

--- Fetch nixos.org and print all hrefs.
-main = do
-  resp <- openURI "https://nixos.org/"
-  let tags = filter (isTagOpenName "a") $ parseTags $ unpack $ fromRight undefined resp
-  let tags' = map (fromAttrib "href") tags
-  mapM_ putStrLn $ filter (/= "") tags'
-```
-
-If you want to be even more precise, you can specify a specific revision
-of Nixpkgs:
-
-    #! nix-shell -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/0672315759b3e15e2121365f067c1c8c56bb4722.tar.gz
-
-The examples above all used `-p` to get dependencies from Nixpkgs. You
-can also use a Nix expression to build your own dependencies. For
-example, the Python example could have been written as:
-
-```python
-#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
-#! nix-shell deps.nix -i python
-```
-
-where the file `deps.nix` in the same directory as the `#!`-script
-contains:
-
-```nix
-with import <nixpkgs> {};
-
-runCommand "dummy" { buildInputs = [ python3 python3Packages.prettytable ]; } ""
-```
-
-The script's file name is passed as the first argument to the interpreter specified by the `-i` flag.
-
-Aside from the very first line, which is a directive to the operating system, the additional `#! nix-shell` lines do not need to be at the beginning of the file.
-This allows wrapping them in block comments for languages where `#` does not start a comment, such as ECMAScript, Erlang, PHP, or Ruby.

-# 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).

-# 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]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-output-path
-
-- `--references`
-
-  Prints the set of [references] of the store paths
-  *paths*, that is, their immediate dependencies. (For *all*
-  dependencies, use `--requisites`.)
-
-  [references]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-reference
-
-- `--requisites` / `-R`
-
-  Prints out the set of [*requisites*][requisite] (better known as the [closure]) of the store path *paths*.
-
-  [requisite]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-requisite
-  [closure]: @docroot@/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`.
-
-- `--referrers`
-
-  Prints the set of [*referrers*][referrer] 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.
-
-  [referrer]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-referrer
-
-- `--referrers-closure`
-
-  Prints the closure of the set of store paths *paths* under the
-  [referrers relation][referrer]; 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*.
-
-  [referrer]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-referrer
-
-- `--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]: @docroot@/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 substituted 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*.

-# Common Options
-
-Most Nix commands accept the following command-line options:
-
-- <span id="opt-help">[`--help`](#opt-help)</span>
-
-  Prints out a summary of the command syntax and exits.
-
-- <span id="opt-version">[`--version`](#opt-version)</span>
-
-  Prints out the Nix version number on standard output and exits.
-
-- <span id="opt-verbose">[`--verbose`](#opt-verbose)</span> / `-v`
-
-  Increases the level of verbosity of diagnostic messages printed on standard error.
-  For each Nix operation, the information printed on standard output is well-defined;
-  any diagnostic information is printed on standard error, never on standard output.
-
-  This option may be specified repeatedly.
-  Currently, the following verbosity levels exist:
-
-  - `0` “Errors only”
-
-    Only print messages explaining why the Nix invocation failed.
-
-  - `1` “Informational”
-
-    Print *useful* messages about what Nix is doing.
-    This is the default.
-
-  - `2` “Talkative”
-
-    Print more informational messages.
-
-  - `3` “Chatty”
-
-    Print even more informational messages.
-
-  - `4` “Debug”
-
-    Print debug information.
-
-  - `5` “Vomit”
-
-    Print vast amounts of debug information.
-
-- <span id="opt-quiet">[`--quiet`](#opt-quiet)</span>
-
-  Decreases the level of verbosity of diagnostic messages printed on standard error.
-  This is the inverse option to `-v` / `--verbose`.
-
-  This option may be specified repeatedly.
-  See the previous verbosity levels list.
-
-- <span id="opt-log-format">[`--log-format`](#opt-log-format)</span> *format*
-
-  This option can be used to change the output of the log format, with *format* being one of:
-
-  - `raw`
-
-    This is the raw format, as outputted by nix-build.
-
-  - `internal-json`
-
-    Outputs the logs in a structured manner.
-
-    > **Warning**
-    >
-    > While the schema itself is relatively stable, the format of
-    > the error-messages (namely of the `msg`-field) can change
-    > between releases.
-
-  - `bar`
-
-    Only display a progress bar during the builds.
-
-  - `bar-with-logs`
-
-    Display the raw logs, with the progress bar at the bottom.
-
-- <span id="opt-no-build-output">[`--no-build-output`](#opt-no-build-output)</span> / `-Q`
-
-  By default, output written by builders to standard output and standard error is echoed to the Nix command's standard error.
-  This option suppresses this behaviour.
-  Note that the builder's standard output and error are always written to a log file in `prefix/nix/var/log/nix`.
-
-- <span id="opt-max-jobs">[`--max-jobs`](#opt-max-jobs)</span> / `-j` *number*
-
-  Sets the maximum number of build jobs that Nix will perform in parallel to the specified number.
-  Specify `auto` to use the number of CPUs in the system.
-  The default is specified by the `max-jobs` configuration setting, which itself defaults to `1`.
-  A higher value is useful on SMP systems or to exploit I/O latency.
-
-  Setting it to `0` disallows building on the local machine, which is useful when you want builds to happen only on remote builders.
-
-- <span id="opt-cores">[`--cores`](#opt-cores)</span>
-
-  Sets the value of the `NIX_BUILD_CORES` environment variable in the invocation of builders.
-  Builders can use this variable at their discretion to control the maximum amount of parallelism.
-  For instance, in Nixpkgs, if the derivation attribute `enableParallelBuilding` is set to `true`, the builder passes the `-jN` flag to GNU Make.
-  It defaults to the value of the `cores` configuration setting, if set, or `1` otherwise.
-  The value `0` means that the builder should use all available CPU cores in the system.
-
-- <span id="opt-max-silent-time">[`--max-silent-time`](#opt-max-silent-time)</span>
-
-  Sets the maximum number of seconds that a builder can go without producing any data on standard output or standard error.
-  The default is specified by the `max-silent-time` configuration setting.
-  `0` means no time-out.
-
-- <span id="opt-timeout">[`--timeout`](#opt-timeout)</span>
-
-  Sets the maximum number of seconds that a builder can run.
-  The default is specified by the `timeout` configuration setting.
-  `0` means no timeout.
-
-- <span id="opt-keep-going">[`--keep-going`](#opt-keep-going)</span> / `-k`
-
-  Keep going in case of failed builds, to the greatest extent possible.
-  That is, if building an input of some derivation fails, Nix will still build the other inputs, but not the derivation itself.
-  Without this option, Nix stops if any build fails (except for builds of substitutes), possibly killing builds in progress (in case of parallel or distributed builds).
-
-- <span id="opt-keep-failed">[`--keep-failed`](#opt-keep-failed)</span> / `-K`
-
-  Specifies that in case of a build failure, the temporary directory (usually in `/tmp`) in which the build takes place should not be deleted.
-  The path of the build directory is printed as an informational message.
-
-- <span id="opt-fallback">[`--fallback`](#opt-fallback)</span>
-
-  Whenever Nix attempts to build a derivation for which substitutes are known for each output path, but realising the output paths through the substitutes fails, fall back on building the derivation.
-
-  The most common scenario in which this is useful is when we have registered substitutes in order to perform binary distribution from, say, a network repository.
-  If the repository is down, the realisation of the derivation will fail.
-  When this option is specified, Nix will build the derivation instead.
-  Thus, installation from binaries falls back on installation from source.
-  This option is not the default since it is generally not desirable for a transient failure in obtaining the substitutes to lead to a full build from source (with the related consumption of resources).
-
-- <span id="opt-readonly-mode">[`--readonly-mode`](#opt-readonly-mode)</span>
-
-  When this option is used, no attempt is made to open the Nix database.
-  Most Nix operations do need database access, so those operations will fail.
-
-- <span id="opt-arg">[`--arg`](#opt-arg)</span> *name* *value*
-
-  This option is accepted by `nix-env`, `nix-instantiate`, `nix-shell` and `nix-build`.
-  When evaluating Nix expressions, the expression evaluator will automatically try to call functions that it encounters.
-  It can automatically call functions for which every argument has a [default value](@docroot@/language/syntax.md#functions) (e.g., `{ argName ?  defaultValue }: ...`).
-
-  With `--arg`, you can also call functions that have arguments without a default value (or override a default value).
-  That is, if the evaluator encounters a function with an argument named *name*, it will call it with value *value*.
-
-  For instance, the top-level `default.nix` in Nixpkgs is actually a function:
-
-  ```nix
-  { # The system (e.g., `i686-linux') for which to build the packages.
-    system ? builtins.currentSystem
-    ...
-  }: ...
-  ```
-
-  So if you call this Nix expression (e.g., when you do `nix-env --install --attr pkgname`), the function will be called automatically using the value [`builtins.currentSystem`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md) for the `system` argument.
-  You can override this using `--arg`, e.g., `nix-env --install --attr pkgname --arg system \"i686-freebsd\"`.
-  (Note that since the argument is a Nix string literal, you have to escape the quotes.)
-
-- <span id="opt-arg-from-file">[`--arg-from-file`](#opt-arg-from-file)</span> *name* *path*
-
-  Pass the contents of file *path* as the argument *name* to Nix functions.
-
-- <span id="opt-arg-from-stdin">[`--arg-from-stdin`](#opt-arg-from-stdin)</span> *name*
-
-  Pass the contents of stdin as the argument *name* to Nix functions.
-
-- <span id="opt-argstr">[`--argstr`](#opt-argstr)</span> *name* *value*
-
-  This option is like `--arg`, only the value is not a Nix expression but a string.
-  So instead of `--arg system \"i686-linux\"` (the outer quotes are to keep the shell happy) you can say `--argstr system i686-linux`.
-
-- <span id="opt-attr">[`--attr`](#opt-attr)</span> / `-A` *attrPath*
-
-  Select an attribute from the top-level Nix expression being evaluated.
-  (`nix-env`, `nix-instantiate`, `nix-build` and `nix-shell` only.)
-  The *attribute path* *attrPath* is a sequence of attribute names separated by dots.
-  For instance, given a top-level Nix expression *e*, the attribute path `xorg.xorgserver` would cause the expression `e.xorg.xorgserver` to be used.
-  See [`nix-env --install`](@docroot@/command-ref/nix-env/install.md) for some concrete examples.
-
-  In addition to attribute names, you can also specify array indices.
-  For instance, the attribute path `foo.3.bar` selects the `bar`
-  attribute of the fourth element of the array in the `foo` attribute
-  of the top-level expression.
-
-- <span id="opt-eval-store">[`--eval-store`](#opt-eval-store)</span> *store-url*
-
-  The [URL to the Nix store](@docroot@/store/types/index.md#store-url-format) to use for evaluation, i.e. where to store derivations (`.drv` files) and inputs referenced by them.
-
-- <span id="opt-expr">[`--expr`](#opt-expr)</span> / `-E`
-
-  Interpret the command line arguments as a list of Nix expressions to be parsed and evaluated, rather than as a list of file names of Nix expressions.
-  (`nix-instantiate`, `nix-build` and `nix-shell` only.)
-
-  For `nix-shell`, this option is commonly used to give you a shell in which you can build the packages returned by the expression.
-  If you want to get a shell which contain the *built* packages ready for use, give your expression to the `nix-shell --packages ` convenience flag instead.
-
-- <span id="opt-I">[`-I` / `--include`](#opt-I)</span> *path*
-
-  Add an entry to the list of search paths used to resolve [lookup paths](@docroot@/language/constructs/lookup-path.md).
-  This option may be given multiple times.
-
-  Paths added through `-I` take precedence over the [`nix-path` configuration setting](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-nix-path) and the [`NIX_PATH` environment variable](@docroot@/command-ref/env-common.md#env-NIX_PATH).
-
-- <span id="opt-impure">[`--impure`](#opt-impure)</span>
-
-  Allow access to mutable paths and repositories.
-
-- <span id="opt-option">[`--option`](#opt-option)</span> *name* *value*
-
-  Set the Nix configuration option *name* to *value*.
-  This overrides settings in the Nix configuration file (see nix.conf5).
-
-- <span id="opt-repair">[`--repair`](#opt-repair)</span>
-
-  Fix corrupted or missing store paths by redownloading or rebuilding them.
-  Note that this is slow because it requires computing a cryptographic hash of the contents of every path in the closure of the build.
-  Also note the warning under `nix-store --repair-path`.
