 # Files
 
-  - `~/.nix-defexpr`\
-    The source for the default Nix expressions used by the
-    `--install`, `--upgrade`, and `--query --available` operations to
-    obtain derivations. The `--file` option may be used to override
-    this default.
-
-    If `~/.nix-defexpr` is a file, it is loaded as a Nix expression. If
-    the expression is a 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.
-
-    If `~/.nix-defexpr` is a directory containing a `default.nix` file,
-    that file is loaded as in the above paragraph.
-
-    If `~/.nix-defexpr` 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 set, each
-    expression under an attribute with the same name as the original
-    file or subdirectory.
-
-    For example, if `~/.nix-defexpr` contains two files, `foo.nix` and
-    `bar.nix`, then the default Nix expression will essentially be
-
-    ```nix
-    {
-      foo = import ~/.nix-defexpr/foo.nix;
-      bar = import ~/.nix-defexpr/bar.nix;
-    }
-    ```
-
-    The file `manifest.nix` is always ignored. 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.
-
-    The command `nix-channel` places symlinks to the downloaded Nix
-    expressions from each subscribed channel in this directory.
-
-  - `~/.nix-profile`\
-    A symbolic link to the user's current profile. By default, this
-    symlink points to `prefix/var/nix/profiles/default`. The `PATH`
-    environment variable should include `~/.nix-profile/bin` for the
-    user environment to be visible to the user.
