- <para>This option determines how the output written to standard
- error is formatted. Nix’s diagnostic messages are typically
- <emphasis>nested</emphasis>. For instance, when tracing Nix
- expression evaluation (<command>nix-env -vvvvv</command>, messages
- from subexpressions are nested inside their parent expressions. Nix
- builder output is also often nested. For instance, the Nix Packages
- generic builder nests the various build tasks (unpack, configure,
- compile, etc.), and the GNU Make in <literal>stdenv-linux</literal>
- has been patched to provide nesting for recursive Make
- invocations.</para>
