From 36b059748d06e39fb3e588463bbc4ddcd2255f27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Bantyev Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2023 19:27:41 +0400 Subject: Split nix-env and nix-store documentation per-subcommand Documentation on "classic" commands with many sub-commands are notoriously hard to discover due to lack of overview and anchor links. Additionally the information on common options and environment variables is not accessible offline in man pages, and therefore often overlooked by readers. With this change, each sub-command of nix-store and nix-env gets its own page in the manual (listed in the table of contents), and each own man page. Also, man pages for each subcommand now (again) list common options and environment variables. While this makes each page quite long and some common parameters don't apply, this should still make it easier to navigate as that additional information was not accessible on the command line at all. It is now possible to run 'nix-store -- --help` to display help pages for the given subcommand.
