2017-07-14nix: Show help when no arguments are givenEelco Dolstra
Fixes #1464.
2017-06-07Don't show flags from config settings in "nix --help"Eelco Dolstra
2017-06-07nix: Add --help-config flagEelco Dolstra
2017-06-07nix: Make all options available as flagsEelco Dolstra
Thus, instead of ‘--option <name> <value>’, you can write ‘--<name> <value>’. So --option http-connections 100 becomes --http-connections 100 Apart from brevity, the difference is that it's not an error to set a non-existent option via --option, but unrecognized arguments are fatal. Boolean options have special treatment: they're mapped to the argument-less flags ‘--<name>’ and ‘--no-<name>’. E.g. --option auto-optimise-store false becomes --no-auto-optimise-store

2017-04-13Convert Settings to the new config systemEelco Dolstra
This makes all config options self-documenting. Unknown or unparseable config settings and --option flags now cause a warning.
2017-04-08Process nix.conf options in "new" nix commands, add test.Will Dietz
Without this (minor) change, the options set using "--option" or read from nix.conf were parsed but not used.
2016-04-25nix: Disable verbose buildsEelco Dolstra
2016-04-25Improved logging abstractionEelco Dolstra
This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the "pretty" log type.
