Warning: This program is experimental and its interface is subject to change.

Name

nix realisation info - query information about one or several realisations

Synopsis

nix realisation info [option…] installables…

Description

Display some information about the given realisation

Examples

Show some information about the realisation of the hello package:

$ nix realisation info nixpkgs#hello --json
[{"id":"sha256:3d382378a00588e064ee30be96dd0fa7e7df7cf3fbcace85a0e7b7dada1eef25!out","outPath":"fd3m7xawvrqcg98kgz5hc2vk3x9q0lh7-hello"}]

Options

•

--json

Produce output in JSON format, suitable for consumption by another program.

Common evaluation options:

•

--arg name expr

Pass the value expr as the argument name to Nix functions.

•

--argstr name string

Pass the string string as the argument name to Nix functions.

•

--eval-store store-url

The Nix store to use for evaluations.

•

--impure

Allow access to mutable paths and repositories.

•

--include / -I path

Add path to the list of locations used to look up <...> file names.

•

--override-flake original-ref resolved-ref

Override the flake registries, redirecting original-ref to resolved-ref.

Common flake-related options:

•

--commit-lock-file

Commit changes to the flake’s lock file.

•

--inputs-from flake-url

Use the inputs of the specified flake as registry entries.

•

--no-registries

Don’t allow lookups in the flake registries. This option is deprecated; use --no-use-registries.

•

--no-update-lock-file

Do not allow any updates to the flake’s lock file.

•

--no-write-lock-file

Do not write the flake’s newly generated lock file.

•

--override-input input-path flake-url

Override a specific flake input (e.g. dwarffs/nixpkgs). This implies --no-write-lock-file.

•

--recreate-lock-file

Recreate the flake’s lock file from scratch.

•

--update-input input-path

Update a specific flake input (ignoring its previous entry in the lock file).

Options that change the interpretation of installables:

•

--all

Apply the operation to every store path.

•

--derivation

Operate on the store derivation rather than its outputs.

•

--expr expr

Interpret installables as attribute paths relative to the Nix expression expr.

•

--file / -f file

Interpret installables as attribute paths relative to the Nix expression stored in file. If file is the character -, then a Nix expression will be read from standard input.

•

--recursive / -r

Apply operation to closure of the specified paths.
