this is a pure reformatting, contents were not changed
one sentence per line makes reviewing diffs and making suggestions much
more convenient. the indentation was an artifat of the DocBook
migration.

notably useful when nix-store --query --deriver returns a non-existing

this is a how-to guide which should not be in the reference manual.
it also refers to `nix-env`, which should not be the first thing readers
of the reference manual encounter, as it behaves very differently in
spirit from the rest of Nix.
slightly reword the documentation to be more concise and informative.
|

- Improved API docs from comment
- Exit codes are for `nix-build`, not just `nix-store --release`
- Make note in tests so the magic numbers are not surprising
Picking up where #8387 left off.

Deleting store info corrected (there is a foot-gun in Nix with
`--delete-generations old`!)
Also a few things are cleaned up based on feedback.

format of command line flags

Add support to --list-generations
as another way to say
nix-env --profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/channels --list-generations
the way we did for nix-channel --rollback [generation id]
|
|
list files used by `nix-channel` on its own man page
|
|
e.g. nix-env -e subversion => nix-env --uninstall subversion
The aim is to make the documentation less cryptic for newcomers and the
long options are more self-documenting.
The change was made with the following script:
<https://github.com/aschmolck/convert-short-nix-opts-to-long-ones>
and sanity checked visually.

This gives some more context and should clarify why it works that way.
Also link it from the section on `NIX_USER_CONF_FILES`.

it's probably better not to show the manifest file documentation in the
command-specific pages, because these are implementation details that are not really practically useful.
this means no additional hassle for building the manual, but clutters
the table of contents a bit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
otherwise the headings won't match at the point where they are included.
this is a bit hacky and brittle, but works for now.
|
|
adapt to the example listing
|
|
|
|
|
|
this is to make it consistent everywhere
|
|
|
|
remove incorrect reference to `NIX_PATH` documentation

- Create a glossary entry for experimental features.
- Have the man page experimental feature notice link `nix-commmand`.
(Eventually this should be programmed, based on whether the command is
experimental, and if so what experimental feature does it depend on.)
- Document which installables depend on which experimental features.
I tried to use the same style (bold warning and block quote) that the
top of the man page uses.

the semantics are not explained in the referenced section any more, they
have been moved to the documentation for common options in the new CLI [0].
