+# Description
+
+This command shows what packages are currently installed in a
+profile. The output consists of one line per package, with the
+following fields:
+
+* An integer that can be used to unambiguously identify the package in
+ invocations of `nix profile remove` and `nix profile upgrade`.
+
+* The original ("mutable") flake reference and output attribute path
+ used at installation time.
+
+* The immutable flake reference to which the mutable flake reference
+ was resolved.
+
+* The store path(s) of the package.
